Roasted sweet potatoes with sage is a simple, yet delicious, dish to accompany your Autumn and Winter meals. It is a great addition to any holiday menu while it also makes an easy and flavorful side for your weeknight dinners as well.

The roasting process intensify the natural sugars of the sweet potatoes, concentrates their flavor and brings out their rich nutty and earthly notes. The fresh and earthy aroma of the sage makes this dish a standout on you holiday table.
I prefer to use a combination of extra virgin olive oil and ghee to add to the natural richness of the sweet potatoes while keeping the dish light.
