4 servings
- 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 8 oz each), scrubbed
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the herb oil
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient noteSmall amounts of fresh ginger are often well-tolerated on a low histamine diet. This recipe only uses about 1/4 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient noteSome low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe uses only a very small amount of cinnamon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place one sweet potato on a cutting board between two wooden chopsticks or the handles of two wooden spoons laid flat — these act as a depth stop. Using a sharp chef's knife, make crosswise cuts every 1/4 inch along the length of the potato, cutting down until the knife rests on the chopsticks (about two-thirds of the way through). Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
