Roasted & Caramelized Sweet Potatoes

 

This Sweet Potato Recipe is bursting with flavour! It just might become your easy   go-to side dish recipe for a busy weeknight! The sweet potato is first baked and then quickly caramelized in a skillet with honey & butter. 

How can this recipe go wrong, right? 

I have been on this Garnish everything with Herbs Kick lately...I have discovered that a blend of fresh herbs takes your dish to the next level for sure! I have enjoyed the flavours of Basil, Cilantro, Green Onion, granulated garlic, a dash of honey, and a tiny bit of dijon mustard. Like Wow, honestly. You can use this Herb idea for fish and chicken dishes as well! Really good! 

Now back to the sweet potato. You have the natural sugar flavours of the sweet potato, the honey and melted butter. This Sweet Potato is so good on its own! You could really stop here and serve them now if you were pressed for time. They are that Good. 

If you want to step it up a notch, you can garnish it with the Herb blend that I mentioned above and add goat cheese, and Sour Cream. Delicious!
