Great Sweet Potato Recipe

This is my all time favorite sweet potato recipe. I always make this dish when I'm having someone new over for dinner - they are always impressed and it is such a simple recipe!

Thyme Red Pepper Sweet Potatoes

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin slices
3 TBS olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/3 C fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (you can adjust the spiciness according to your taste - I use 1 tsp)

Toss all ingredients in a large bowl until well coated with oil. Place on baking sheet in a thin layer and bake at 400° for 45 minutes, or until tender. I bake mine a bit longer because I like them crispy. You can also grill this recipe (which I prefer) using a well oiled grilling basket or heavy duty tin foil.

I serve this dish with Spicy Aioli:
