Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Season chicken with sea salt, garlic powder, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Press chopped rosemary evenly over both sides until adhering.
  2. Step 2: Bake chicken on a parchment-lined sheet pan for 22-25 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F, checking at 20 minutes to prevent overcooking.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, boil sweet potato chunks in salted water for 15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly, then mash with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp sea salt until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
