Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

“Absolutely delicious sweet potato recipe,” raves Bob Seale. “I roasted them on a prepared baking sheet and turned them over half way through to crisp them. Just before serving, I squeezed a few drops of fresh lemon juice over them.”

“This was a hit,” according to Patti Copeland Talcott. ‘I made them to go with a pork loin roast and it was a great combination. Also very easy to make. Delicious.”

“So easy to make,” says linda. “I didn't have oregano so I used Herbs de Provence. Will definitely make it again!”
