Helpful Tips
- Mix it up: Add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts in the last 10 minutes of roasting for a delightful crunch.
- Make it ahead: Prep the sweet potatoes in advance and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. When ready to cook, follow the roasting instructions.
- Spice variations: Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a hint of heat or swap the rosemary for thyme for a different aromatic twist.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. For ingredient substitutions, feel free to use yams or even butternut squash in place of sweet potatoes.
Pairings
