Cooking Steps

Roast sweet potatoes
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature.
  • Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges.
  • To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add sweet potatoes and 1 tbsp oil. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. 
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 22-28 min, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden (NOTE: For 4 servings, roast in the middle and bottom of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
Prep and make pesto butter

  • Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • To a small microwave-safe bowl, add sun-dried tomato pesto, cream cheese and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter.
