Roasted Sweet Potatoes are one of my dietary staples. Although I refer to them as sweet potatoes, they’re technically yams — I’ll continue calling them sweet potatoes because that’s how they’re labeled in nearly every U.S. grocery store. Sweet potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and a host of micronutrients including vitamins A, C, and B6, and minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and copper. While I love the garnet and jewel varieties, I am currently obsessed with purple sweet potatoes, also called Okinawan Sweet Potatoes, because of their bright purple flesh and sky-high anthocyanin content.
