    Another simple recipe that’s easy and delicious! I made this tonight and it was a perfect side dish. I put about 1/2 tsp of salt since I didn’t see a note about how much.

    These sweet potatoes were delicious and pretty simple to make. My 16-year-old (who can be a picky eater) said they were the most delicious sweet potatoes he has had! They made the perfect side dish alongside crispy tofu and roasted broccoli.
