3 large sweet potatoes, washed and peeled, cut into cubes
3 T. olive oil
1 1/2 T. agave nectar
1-2 T. fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Whisk together the olive oil, agave nectar, and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss.  Make sure the potatoes are well coated. Add the fresh rosemary and toss again.

    Rosemary on sweet potatoes — Jenna, what a lovely idea! I usually just use rosemary with roasted brussel sprouts.

    Since you are now roasting things, I think you should change your blog name to eat, live, roast.

    And since you have a boyfriend, you should probably change it to Eat, Live, Roast with A Boyfriend. Unless you breakup, then you should change it to Eat, Live, Roast as A Single Girl With A Cat.

    That will really make my life so much better, and I think it will help the world as a whole.

    Thanks!!

    PLEASE more savory recipes and less sweet ones! 🙂

      I mean less dessert ones, I don’t consider this a sweet one, this is what I like to see! Sorry if that was confusing. 🙂
