Sweet Potato 'Croutons'

 

These are essentially tiny chunks of roasted sweet potatoes, but they serve so well as a final garnish to soups and grain based salads that I have taken to calling them croutons. They do not provide the crunch you may receive from the crispy bread, but a little flavorful boost of carbs is satisfying in several applications.

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 sweet potato
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Serving Size: 2 People

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400.

Whisk the minced garlic and olive oil together in a bowl. Peel the sweet potato (if desired). Cut into 1/2 inch wide sticks and then again into 1/2 inch cubes. Toss in the garlic-oil. Spread on a baking sheet.

Place in the oven for 15 minutes. Toss. Continue to roast, tossing every 3-5 minutes until the edges are golden and toasty.
