Sweet potatoes make a healthful choice over white potatoes
Who needs plain old fries when you can eat these! These roasted sweet potatoes are so delicious and satisfying, you may not notice the entrée by their side – in fact, you may not need one! With just a few special herbs and spices (in other words, this recipe is easy to prepare) plus a refreshing topping, the flavor is spot on. Plus you get an array of nutrients, nourishing protein and fats, and fiber-rich whole carbs.
