In the spirit of Thanksgiving coming up, or really just in the spirit of liking yummy east to make food, I bring to you my go-to side dish: roasted sweet potatoes!

I love a good sweet potato because:

Super nutritious — fiber, vitamins, minerals, you name it
Great for gut health
Supports immune system
Fills me up
Really tasty!

I know everyone loves a mashed potato on Thanksgiving, and so do I, but when it comes to the sweet ones I like them diced up and roasted. Here’s a super basic recipe I use for these — note I am not a “lets be in the kitchen for several hours cooking” type of lady. This side dish is PERFECT for me to make:

Keep your potatoes peeled or peel them — really doesn’t matter, I keep mine peeled (they say it has more nutrients too)
Chop up your potatoes; I keep mine around 1/2 - 1 inch cubed
Toss up the chopped potatoes into a mixing boil of oil & seasonings: avocado or coconut oil work great, definitely like garlic powder, some paprika maybe, pepper, turmeric sometimes, or I’ll sprinkle with parsley too. Just don’t go overboard, keep a couple main ones and then next time try another set of 3 or 4 seasonings
Roast at 425 degrees F for roughly 15 minutes to start (keeping them spread enough apart) — take your potatoes out and toss them up some so all sides get some love — roast another 15 minutes or so
In the picture, I just sliced up some avocado and threw it in there too because for me I’ll put avocado in anything!

This seems like an easy side to make because IT IS! What seems so simple is so delicious and nutritious for you. Give the potato a tiny twist this holiday season :)
