Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss the sweet-potato rounds with olive oil, thyme, garlic, red pepper, and salt.
• Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, garnish with thyme sprigs, and place in oven. Roast until tender and starting to brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a platter, and serve.

ROASTED JAPANESE SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork; arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast until very tender, about 1 hour, depending on size. Split open, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper; serve.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in center position.
• Scrub and pat potatoes dry. Pierce potatoes all over with the tines of a fork and bake in oven, directly on rack, until soft and caramelizing, 1 1/2 hours.
• Slash the tops of potatoes open with the tip of a sharp knife and push ends of each potato toward each other to open. Divide butter, salt, and pepper among potatoes and serve.

BAKED ACORN SQUASH WITH BROWN SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously butter a rimmed baking sheet.
• Halve squash crosswise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Slice a small piece off bottom of each squash half just enough to level.
• Set squash halves, scooped sides down, on prepared sheet. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn squash; prick insides all over with a fork. Divide 2 tablespoons butter and sugar among halves; season with salt and pepper. Continue to bake until flesh is easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

EASY ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss vegetables with enough oil to evenly coat in a thin film; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on one or more rimmed baking sheets, without crowding.
• Roast, stirring vegetables once (and rotating sheets' rack positions, if using two or more sheets) halfway through, until tender and golden brown in places, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve, or let cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week. Vegetables can be reheated in the microwave or in a 350-degree oven until warmed through.

HONEY-ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 3-quart baking dish, toss together sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, walnuts, honey, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Top with thyme sprigs and roast until vegetables are browned at edges and tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour.

• Lightly flour a surface and roll out dough to about 3/8-inch thick. Shape biscuits using a bone-shaped cookie cutter appropriate for your dog's size.
• You may optionally spell out your dog's name in the dough with a wet toothpick.
• Place biscuits on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 10 minutes. Brush with stock; rotate baking sheets and bake 10 minutes more. Turn off oven. Allow dog biscuits stand in oven to dry completely, about 1 ½ hours.

SPICE-RUBBED TURKEY BREAST WITH SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, mix rosemary, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, lime juice, and 4 teaspoons oil; rub all over turkey. Leaving space between them, place both halves in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Brush cut sides of sweet potatoes with remaining 2 teaspoons oil; place, cut side down, on sheet with turkey. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of each breast half registers 160 degrees, about 50 minutes (potatoes should be tender). Let stand 10 minutes, loosely tented with aluminum foil to keep warm (temperature will rise by 5 degrees).
• Cut one breast half into thick slices (reserve remaining turkey; see step 4). Cut potato halves into wedges. Transfer turkey slices and potatoes to a serving platter, drizzling turkey with any juices from baking sheet. (Optional: Serve with Sauteed Escarole.)
• Cool remaining turkey completely. Divide leftovers evenly between 2 airtight containers, or wrap in plastic, and refrigerate.
