HAPPY THANKGIVING!


There was SUPPOSED to be a nice Thanksgiving blog post... However, the iPad ate it - around midnight. I just didn't have it in me to pour out my heart and soul TWICE early this morning. SO, I am sharing my wonderful Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes instead!


Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes   serves 6
(This recipe is such a crowd pleaser, that I always double the recipe so I will have leftovers!)
Ingredients
    1/4 cup vegetable oil (I've use rice bran oil, & this year, I'm using coconut oil)
    2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
    2 tablespoons brown sugar (I use coconut palm sugar)
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    3/4 teaspoon salt
(I use pink Himalayan sea salt for the flavor)    
    1 pinch freshly ground pepper
    1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)

Directions
1.    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pour the oil into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and place in the oven until hot, about 5 minutes.
2.    Add potatoes to the oiled dish, and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, turning after 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
3.    After the 20 minutes is up, remove the potatoes from the oven, and sprinkle with the brown sugar mixture. Stir to coat. Return to the oven, and roast for another 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and golden brown. Stir potatoes as necessary to allow them to brown evenly.
4.    Remove potatoes to paper towels to drain, then transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with lime juice. 

Enjoy! And have a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving!
