Recipe - Oven-Roasted Sweet Potato Slices With Orange And Fresh Thyme

3 Mediumsized sweet potatoes
(about 2 lbs, trimmed,
peeled,
Cut into 1/8 inch thick
slices
1 Garlic clove, crushed
through a press
2 tablespoon Extravirgin olive oil
One fourth cup Packed parsley sprigs
One half teaspoon Fresh thyme, leaves stripped
from the stems, or 1/4
teaspoon dried
1 Strip (about One half x 2 inches)
orange zest (use a
vegetable peeler to remove)
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper, to taste

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Select a large nonstick sheet pan at
least 14 x 10 inches. Combine the sweet potato slices with the garlic and
the oil in a large bowl; toss to coat with the oil. Bake, turning the
potatoes once or twice as they begin to brown, about 40 minutes. Remove
from the oven. Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley, thyme and orange zest
together; sprinkle over the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return
to the oven and bake for 10 minutes longer, or until the potatoes are
tender, turning them once. Serve hot.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
