Roasted sweet potatoes with peppers and shallots recipe

My love for sweet potatoes must be obvious to you….sweet potato fries, sweet potato Nutella brownies and today, roasted sweet potatoes with peppers and shallots.

I know some of you are “scared” of sweet potatoes and basically any carbs, but these carbs are good carbs and as long as you don’t eat 5 of them every day you have nothing to worry about. Sweet potatoes are low in GI (Glycemic Index) which means they produce only small fluctuations in your blood glucose and insulin levels, which helps with managing your weight, reduces the risk of heart disease, prevents energy slumps, reduces hunger and keeps you fuller for longer and many other amazing benefits.

This recipe is so simple yet versatile. You can swap shallots for red onions, peppers for mushrooms or courgettes and serve it as a side along with some protein, on its own or with a big green salad.

2. Next peel the shallots and halve lengthwise.
3. Wash the peppers and cut lengthwise into strips also.
4. Get an ovenproof dish and oil with coconut oil.
5. Arrange the potato slices, peppers and shallots in alternating rows and season with salt, pepper and marjoram.
6. Tuck a few pieces of rosemary in between the vegetables.
7. Melt some coconut oil and drizzle over the dish.
8. Pop in the oven for around 35 min . Turn halfway through, taste and season if needed.
