I’ve been trying to find more ways to get sweet potatoes into our regular rotation of meals – and HELLO HONEY – this is it! The entire family loved them and I’ll be making for many an upcoming “Taco Tuesday.” I do realize it’s not a taco and I also realize it would be good any night of the week, but for the sake of simplicity (aka my simple brain), we’re going with it. Please don’t poo poo this before trying. I promise you, they are good. (And good for you, but you don’t have to tell.) Go. Make. These. And. Goodbye. 💃
