Sweet Potatoes

Description

Roasted sweet potatoes are a delish side dish for any meal! These sweet potatoes are roasted until slightly browned to give a crunchy exterior, but still maintains the sweet interior.

I've never been an expert at roasting vegetables, as I find it very easy to overcook (or burn!) vegetables when roasting them in the oven. However, I've been so happy with how roasted sweet potatoes come out, I've worked to come up with a great recipe.
