Featured Recipe: Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette
When we were kids, sweet potatoes meant a “casserole” of mashed sweet potatoes with sugar added and sweet marshmallows on top. It was more like dessert than a side dish. In fact, a lot of heirloom Southern cookbooks refer to this as “candied” sweet potatoes.
Now that we’re not kids anymore (and our kids aren’t so kid-like either), we’ve longed for a way to serve sweet potatoes without all of the sugar. Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette is a sophisticated take on this traditional vegetable that’s a lot more palatable and a good deal healthier, too. Just slice the potatoes and an onion and pop the pan into the oven to roast.

We originally discovered your book at the library, and we liked it so much that we purchased a copy. We have now purchased another copy for my son and his wife. We have yet to find a recipe that we have not enjoyed.
