Sweet Potato 'Croutons'

from Spicy Squash Bisque with Sweet Potato Croutons and Cherry Chili Chard, the Week of December 1, 2013.
View the previous recipe for this meal.

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.
