so tonight i decided to make sweet potatoes. my chickens love them and so does my hubby. and they're good for you to boot! but i didn't have alot of time and i was really concerned about how long it would take to bake them off. so i decided to make mashed sweet potatoes. but then at the last minute, i googled roasted sweet potatoes. this led me to epicurious (usually my first choice. i'm not sure why i went to google) and a recipe for thyme roasted sweet potatoes.
well let me tell you that it was one of the best side dishes (and by far the easiest!) i have ever made! in fact, we're still eating them cold!!!
i used 5 sweet potatoes, about 6 cloves of garlic (i can't help myself!), didn't use the red pepper flakes and used fleur de sel (because i have it). oh! and i also used dried thyme, about 1 T.
DELISH!!!
