INGREDIENTS

  • 1 extra large or 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped sweet marjoram
  • 1½ teaspoons red wine vinegar, divided
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

RECIPE PREPARATION

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Place sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and roast, turning once, until tender, 35–45 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, whisk garlic, oil, parsley, sweet marjoram, and ½ tsp. vinegar in a small bowl to combine; season herb oil with salt and pepper.
