Sweet potatoes don't always need brown sugar and marshmallows! These savory roasted sweet potatoes are our favorite way to eat them, and with Alabama sweet potatoes in season, it's a great time to give them a try. I served them with grilled chicken, sautéed mushrooms and onions, salad, and crescent rolls. Shared in partnership with Sweet Grown Alabama; look for locally grown sweet potatoes at sweetgrownalabama.org.
