A SWEET AND SAVORY WAY TO BEGIN THE HOLIDAY
The holidays are here which mean four things to us: food, family, friends and fun! We are so grateful for how amazing this year has been so far. Thanksgiving is by far one of our favorite holidays. Coming from a Ghanaian family, we tend to have a few more Ghanaian dishes on the table. One dish that always ends up on our table no matter what, are sweet potatoes. Whether boiled and mashed, roasted or sauteed we always find a way to switch it up. This year, we roasted them with tons of herbs and honey…yum!
Apart from the wonderful taste of sweet potatoes, they have a great amount of vitamin and minerals and are high in fiber and low in fat. This year we enjoyed them sweet and savory. We hope you enjoy this dish as much as we did!
