In the past the idea of pairing my dinner's with a side of sweet potatoes was VERY far fetched. But after doing the Whole30 and going paleo my taste buds developed and I grew to love sweet potato. I put it in everything now, chili, soup, curry’s.
This by far is one of my favorite sweet potato recipes. It sure beats wrapping your sweet potato in foil and tossing it in the oven. The secret to this recipe is allowing the sugar to ooze out of the sweet potato and caramelize. Therefore leaving you with a gorgeous golden crust around the edges.
