ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 bell peppers, assorted colors
- 3 fresh herbs, (rosemary, thyme and sage)
- Salt
- Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons butter
Method
Step 1
Wash the baby yams and dry them. Then cut each yam in half lengthwise. Rub the yams on the cut side and skins well with the olive oil.
Step 2
Cut the peppers into thin slices and rub with some of the oil.
Step 3
Place the yams and peppers on a cookie sheet with the yams face down.
Step 4
Bake at 375 degrees until lightly browned and fork tender (about 20 - 30 minutes)
Step 5
When they are soft and golden brown place the yams on a platter. Spread the pepper strips around them. Using a fork smash each yam half with the fork and little pats of butter.
Step 6
Sprinkle everything with salt & fresh ground pepper, then toss the chopped fresh herbs on top.
