Sweet potatoes have quickly become one of my favorite foods. Growing up my family would often have sweet potatoes on Sundays. Though I love sweet potatoes with butter and all the fixings, I found there are tons of ways to prepare them. This recipe truly highlights how delicious a sweet potato really is without all of the added butter and sugar. This is a great complement to an earthy meal and is vegetarian and vegan friendly.
