Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Onions, Broccoli and Asparagus, Oh My!
Possibly the best side dish ever at The Buttered Home. Roasted Sweet Potatoes cannot be beat. They are so good you could almost eat them for dessert! We pair them with other seasonal veggies we have on hand and roast them all to perfection. Today, we matched the sultry sweet potatoes with Broccoli and Asparagus. For a super duper twist to the sweet of the potatoes, we always, always add chopped red onion. No matter what else is going in with them. The match up is easy peasy.
This is also a great way to preserve if you have bought too much produce. A lot like BLANCHING VEGETABLES TO FREEZE, this is a great way to cook them and freeze to have for later. Just like our CRISPY ROASTED OLD BAY POTATOES, these are easy to make and oh so delicious!
