I have been looking at different ways to cook potatoes. I am not a huge fan of sweet potatoes but maybe this will be better. Will have to try it.

I’ve never tried sweet potatoes roasted. I think every veggie tasted better roasted though. It really brings out the flavor when you cook them that way!

These roasted spiced sweet potatoes look enticing. They would be great next to just about any meat. I think and dinner would pair well but, especially through the fall and winter. While they do have many carbs they also have 7 grams of fiber.
