Sweet potatoes are plentiful right now.  We love them baked whole, pies, and in a casserole, but our new favorite is roasted.  The flavor combinations are endless.  You can make them savory or sweet.

Did you know how healthy sweet potatoes are?  They are rich in antioxidants, potassium, and iron.  They are one of the most nutritious vegetables you can eat.

One more good reason we love to eat them.

I like to roast several at a time to have leftovers.  We love them in salads as much as a side dish.  I even use leftovers to make sweet potato pies.

You will be amazed at how intense the sweet potato flavor is in the pies.

Simply delicious!

These roasted sweet potatoes are so easy to make and will add the perfect touch to your meal.  Enjoy!
