Sweet Potatoes are one of my favourite starchy vegetables, up there with white potatoes and squash. They’re delicious served mashed, steamed, sautéed, fried and even spiralized into noodles. But my favourite way to enjoy them is roasted in the oven using some warm aromatic spices.
Their deep orange flesh is packed with nutrition, being an excellent source of antioxidants like carotenes and vitamin C. They also provide a good source of manganese, copper, and vitamins B5 and B6. Most importantly, they’re delicious!

Serve as a side to your favourite chicken, pork or beef dish. I also like to use leftovers for omelettes, salads or just snacking!
Oooh, excited to make these. I’ve been craving sweet potatoes lately but looking for some new ways to prepare them. This looks delicious AND easy to make – which is right up my alley 🙂
