ROASTED HERBED SWEET POTATOES

SERVES 4

I must admit that I love baked sweet potatoes, but I tend to load them with butter. This is a much healthier alternative and so good. Use any herbs you prefer.

INGREDIENTS

2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed or, if preferred, peeled

2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves

1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)

Preheat oven to 400° F. Cut the potatoes into wedges about the size of steak fries. Place in a bowl. Drizzle with just enough oil or butter to coat. Add the herbs, salt and pepper; toss well. Place on a baking sheet or in a shallow baking pan in one layer. Sprinkle with the brown sugar. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes, depending on size. Serve immediately. (If you use olive oil, they are also good at room temperature.)
