Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

How to Make Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Yogurt

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the yogurt topping. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill (or parsley), and smoked paprika if using. Stir until well combined.
5. Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
6. To serve, arrange the roasted sweet potatoes on a platter. Top each slice with a generous dollop of the creamy yogurt mixture and sprinkle with additional herbs for garnish.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure that the sweet potato slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
• For extra crispiness, you can broil the sweet potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
• Experiment with different herbs like cilantro or chives for a unique flavor twist.

Easy Variations

• Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt for a touch of sweetness.
• Mix in spices like cumin or cayenne pepper to the yogurt for a spicy kick.
• Swap the Greek yogurt for sour cream or a dairy-free yogurt alternative to accommodate dietary preferences.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled chicken or fish for a balanced meal.
• Quinoa salad for a hearty vegetarian option.
• Roasted vegetables for a colorful and healthy side dish.
• A fresh green salad to complement the sweetness of the potatoes.
