Healthy Eats: Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Red Onions

This is one of my favorite side dishes lately and I can't get enough of it! Healthy and easy to prepare, you can pair this up with just about anything and have a nice meal ready in about 40 minutes.

What you need:
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 large red onion
  • 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • Cracked salt and pepper for seasoning.
What to do:
  1.  Preheat your oven to 350°F.Grab a deep roasting tray and line, reflective side down, with baking foil. 
  2.  While the oven is heating up peel your potatoes, cut them in half horizontally, then vertically and then cut those quarters in  half. You should have a nice batch of chunks!
  3. Take your red onion and cut it into nice thick chunks.
  4. Place the potatoes and onion in the roasting tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Crack salt and pepper to your liking over the top.
  5. The oven should be ready now so put everything in there for 35-40 minutes. 
Serves 2 large portions or 4 small.

You can mix things up a bit and add garlic or any other flavor enhancers but honestly it's good enough as is!
