A healthy spin on a classic comfort dish
Roasted sweet potatoes are a classic dish to bring to your table for any gathering, but it’s particularly inviting during fall and winter months. The colors are warm and gorgeous and it makes a nice impression served in a large, wide dish. This recipe works as a side dish as well as a main dish, especially if you add tofu.

Pro-tip: Remember to roast the vegetables in a large, wide pan so the steam coming off the veggies evaporates instead of cooking adjacent items. Otherwise, you’ll get boiled potatoes and onions instead of roasted ones.
