Herby Roasted Sweet Potato And Sofrito

"Spanish sofrito is flavorful but easy to make. Try this dish instead of rice tonight. Or add some bacon and serve it as an entreé. You may want to add fresh thyme rather than the dried to maximize the aroma and flavor. If you want some heat, you could also add some ground red pepper. This little gem of a recipe can be paired with light and crisp rosé wines that compliment the acidity of the tomatoes. "
