Sweet potatoes, or yam, are readily available in larger supermarkets. They’re very starchy with a hint of sweetness and make a great side dish with roasted chicken.

Ingredients:
half a pound of sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced
salt, pepper, olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 350º. Toss and shake all the ingredients in a covered bowl.
2. Transfer to a shallow baking pan and roast until tender and the edges start to brown, about 30 minutes.
