ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA



Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Smoked Paprika image

This is a simple way to put an enormous amount of flavor on a plate, and it is particularly delicious with roast chicken - or as a side dish for slab-bacon tacos with burned scallion crema. (Drizzle a little of the crema onto the potatoes just before serving, as if to recall the aioli served with patatas bravas in Spain.) As always when using paprika, smoked or plain, if you can't recall the last time you did so, it is time for a new jar. All spices go stale. Paprika does so quickly.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 large Spanish onion, peeled and cut into cubes
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon smoked paprika, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the sweet potatoes, onion and garlic in a large bowl, and drizzle the olive oil over it, then toss to coat. Sprinkle the salt, pepper and smoked paprika over the potatoes, and toss again to coat. Tip the potatoes onto a sheet pan or into a shallow casserole, then cover it with foil.
  • Roast the potatoes in the oven, tossing occasionally, until they are soft at the center and beginning to crisp at the edges, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot, drizzled with burned-scallion crema if you like.

An easy, creamy soup with just a hint of curry flavor. This recipe uses sweet potato because it is available in the US. In New Zealand they use kumara which is related to the sweet potato. It is a purplish root vegetable that, when peeled and cooked, is a yellow green color and is an important part of the Maori (native New Zealanders') diet.
