Yesterday I made one of my favorite fall side dishes at lunch, and I thought I should share since it is SO easy and SO yummy! Micah loves it, Landry loves it...besides being totally delish, it is cheap and healthy too!
I think I originally found this recipe in Southern Living Magazine a few years ago, but it has been tweaked a little since then. I think it may have had walnuts tossed in the original recipe, so that might be something different to try too!
Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Spinach
You will need:
2-3 Sweet Potatoes
1 (or half) Red onion
A few handfuls of baby spinach
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
| Preheat oven to 375. Cut up sweet potatoes and red onion and place on baking sheet. Toss liberally with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 35-45 minutes, tossing halfway through. |
| Put a few handfuls of spinach in a large bowl (big enough to add the potatoes in the next step!). We use extra spinach because we like it!! |
| After potatoes roast, pull them out of the oven and pour directly over spinach. |
| Toss lightly, and then place a plate over the top for the spinach to wilt. Give it a few minutes, and then you are ready to serve! |
| We ate this yesterday with smoked turkey sausage and a little bread. It was a simple, filling, and healthy lunch. Much better than frozen pizza which Micah gets a lot of the time! :) |
that looks so good! did you also make the bread?
ReplyDeletep.s- will you be posting collier's birth story soon?
Hi! No...I didn't make the bread. It was a new kind I found in the bakery section at W-Mart that was something "bake at home." It turned out really great!
