I especially love making oven roasted sweet potatoes! They are so sweet and savory. Also, they are perfectly caramelized and a great side dish to any meal. This recipe brings out all of the flavors in the sweet potatoes. I like to make a big batch so I have leftovers for meal prep. I use them in salads, bowls, and even enjoy them as a snack with some dipping sauce.
