Seriously people – Thanksgiving is right around the corner! It’s time to get your holiday cooking planned and organized.
These roasted sweet potatoes are incredibly easy to make and aren’t super sweet.
Making this dish is as simple as peeling, dicing, and tossing sweet potatoes in a little bit of maple syrup, coconut oil, pumpkin pie spice mix, and just a touch of rosemary. The flavor combination is the perfect amount of savory with just a hint of sweetness. Adding some pecans makes this dish feel a little bit fancy!
These warm and flavorful sweet potatoes are sure to impress at any holiday dinner. Honestly, you’ll want to make them all year long because they’re so easy and delicious.
Of course I make my own pumpkin pie spice mix.
Our family’s pumpkin pie recipe has a magical ratio of spices that I have never been able to get in a commercial pumpkin pie spice, so I make it myself!
These sweet potatoes are the perfect combination of just a little bit of sweetness and some subtle spice. They’re really delicious. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
