Instructions
PREP ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND SUNFLOWER SEEDS
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Wash sweet potatoes
- Cut sweet potatoes about 1/2 inch thick so they are round "silver dollars"
- Put sweet potatoes in a bowl with sunflower seeds
- Add maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, and salt
- Mix until evenly coated
- Lay mix out on baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Roast for at least 25 minutes, may take up to 40 minutes to cook through. Depending on size of sweet potatoes size and thickness cooking time may very. Sweet potatoes are done when they are soft enough to easily run a fork through.
- Remove from oven and set aside
- **While sweet potatoes are baking, move ahead and prep the rest of the dish
- These sweet potatoes can be prepped in advance and stored in the fridge for quick meals. If potatoes are prepped in advance reheat them in a skillet over medium heat.
PREP ROSEMARY MAPLE SYRUP
- In a skillet add all ingredients for Rosemary Maple syrup, except for blackberries. Keep blackberries aside for now
- Heat ingredients in a skillet over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Once it starts to bubble, drop heat down to medium-low. Cook down syrup until the water cooks out and the rosemary flavor is infused
- Once syrup is done infusing with flavor and cooking off the water, remove rosemary sprigs. Note** you still want the syrup to be liquid and syrupy. Don't cook to long and turn it into a thick caramel
- Add blackberries and cook for another minute until heated
- Remove from heat
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER
- Plate sweet potatoes and sunflower seeds
- Top with Rosemary Maple Syrup and Blackberries
- Top with a scoop if vegan ice cream
- Serve and enjoy!
