Roasted sweet potatoes or yams (sweet potatoes vs yams) are a quick and easy recipe that can be a side dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This recipe is seasoned with maple syrup for a sweet side dish. I do not like marshmallow, so I use this recipe at the holidays and my whole family LOVES them!! I can never make enough!
I adapt this recipe when I want a more savory dish than sweet. To make this dish savory, I substitute rosemary or turmeric in place of the maple syrup.
