These sweet potatoes in my home came out of a can. You can read more about My Story and hear about the unhealthy food journey (called the processed 80’s and 90’s) that ultimately contributed to my health issues. In my 20’s I learned that you could purchase a sweet potato in the produce section, peel it and it eat. AMAZING!
Savory Roasted Sweet Potatoes
My true love affair with sweet potatoes began when I did my first Whole 30 in 2015. The Whole 30 back then did not allow russet potatoes, just sweet potatoes. Cooking them in coconut oil sprinkled with granulated garlic, sea salt and pepper became my favorite side dish, ever! Every single morning I would eat sweet potatoes with eggs and chicken sausage. This stuck and is still my favorite breakfast.
