    2-Sweet potatoes roasted:

Ingredients:

Sweet potatoes: Look for smooth-skinned, firm sweet potatoes with no scrapes or bruises.

2 tablespoons olive oil: We're roasting the potatoes until they're perfectly browned. Any neutral oil, such as avocado or grapeseed oil, would suffice.

Salt and pepper: These are simply seasoned with salt and black pepper to taste. We suggest kosher salt and coarse ground pepper. The bigger chunks offer great flavor bursts.

Honey: Deepens and flavors the caramelization. To make this dish vegan, leave out the honey and replace it with maple syrup.

Fresh rosemary: Brings color and freshness to the dish. Other fresh herbs that can be utilized are dill, thyme, and/or fresh parsley.
