Holiday Roasted Sweet Potatoes
The sweet potatoes of my childhood Thanksgivings were of the traditional Southern-style casserole variety which meant loads of sugar, butter, and, of course, marshmallows. I’m not knocking it but my tastes lean more towards savory these days.
Which brings me to these roasted sweet potatoes…. I wanted sweet potatoes on the table but in a way that was a little different (we already had mashed potatoes and I wanted a different consistency).
So, I tried roasting the potatoes for the first time this year on Thanksgiving and they ended up being one of my favorite sides.
And this Vegan Stuffed Mushroom Dip was easily the most popular appetizer!
Both will definitely be back next year!
Note: For this recipe, I prefer the parmesan finely grated. However, the only vegan parmesan I could find was in long shreds. Easy fix though; I just threw it in a mini chopper and pulsed it a few times.
