My Roasted Sweet Potato slices are a fun and unique way to serve this delicious and nutritious carb!
Good morning! I hope you all are having a fabulous week and are staying warm. My driveway is still a solid sheet of ice, but I know many of you have it so much worse so I will try not to complain 🙂
In blog news----> Did everyone catch my big announcement Monday? I'm still pretty excited about the chance to help such a great group!
Today's recipe starts with these beauties!
Who is on team sweet potato?
I, of course, enjoy my Mom’s brown sugar and butter laced casserole once a year at Thanksgiving but the sweet potato can be so much more.
Instead of just baking mine, I slice them in thick pieces and season them to perfection. I use the unexpected combination of thyme and nutmeg. Trust me on this one…
I put my roasted sweet potato slices in a hot stove and end up with a fancy looking side dish that is nothing short of perfection.
Roasted Sweet Potato Slices are quick enough for a weekday meal, but fancy enough to serve guests at a dinner party.
So yes, I’m on team sweet potato all the way!

Do you eat sweet potatoes outside of Thanksgiving?
Becca @ The Earthlings Handbook says
Thyme and nutmeg! It sounds like it could be very good. My whole family loves sweet potatoes, but we usually just bake them. Once in a while when we find a great price, we buy a whole lot and try them different ways--this is my favorite!
JulieWunder says
They are so good!
Tina muir says
YUM julie! I have never thought to cook sweet potatoes in slices like that, but I bet they would be lovely. I could eat sweet potatoes every day and never be bored. They are so good!!! Have you ever had them with almond butter? Thats my favorite way of having them 🙂
JulieWunder says
Me too! Almond. butter. How did I not think of that? yum.............................

Your sweet potatoes look really scrumptious but I also wanted to say that I love your napkin! The colors and print are really pretty and get me excited for spring. Thanks for the recipe!

Ahhh sweet potatoes are another favorite of mine! I'll definitely try your recipe. I love roasting sweet potatoes, we usually just cut them up into chunks and toss with olive oil, sea salt and pepper. I bet the nutmeg in your recipe gives a great flavor! We eat them year-round for sure, not just at Thanksgiving.

This is a fun way to switch it up!

Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
I am actually not a big fan if you can believe it. I LOVE sweet potato fries but that's really the only way. It's a texture thing for me!
JulieWunder says
Oh no! At least you like the fries! 🙂
Blane Sherer says
I have never been a fan of sweet pototoes, but this looks like it would be worth a try. I was unable to comment yesterday, but I really liked your advice and the pics of your yoga poses.
JulieWunder says
Thanks Blane! These are pretty yummy!
