Roasted Cornish Hens & Sweet Potatoes

Roasted Cornish Hens

(No real measuring needed)






5 cornish hens (1 per person in our house)

olive oil

cinnamon

cumin

kosher salt

3-4 sweet potatoes



I simply rinsed and patted dry the 5 cornish hens and placed them in the roasting pan.  Then I cut up some clean sweet potatoes, into about 2 inch slices/chunks.  Then I drizzled some olive oil over all of it, and sprinkled cumin and cinnamon on the hens.  About 1/4 tsp of each on each bird, and a pinch of salt on each...sprinkling a little cinnamon on the potatoes as well.



Then I popped them in the oven for about 1 hour 15 minutes, until the birds were done.  They were delicious, the potatoes were perfect and we ate it with some simple rice.
