After an extremely long January, lol, February is finally here! I don’t know why, but January seemed to last forever! I’m just glad that one of my favorite months is finally here!

During the month of February, we get to celebrate Valentine’s Day and Black History Month! And I’m proud to announce that the Black History Month Potluck is back again this year! I’ve teamed up with some of the BEST foodies in the Black Bloggers Food Group to bring you some amazing vegan/vegetarian recipes!

My contribution to our BHM Potluck were these delicious Honey Herb Roasted Sweet Potatoes. Sweet potatoes were always a staple in my home. My mom would cook them with lots of butter, brown sugar, and nutmeg! Yum! Even though I absolutely loved, and still love, my mom’s sweet potatoes I wanted to make a healthier version for my family to enjoy.

HOW TO MAKE ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

These sweet potatoes are a cinch to make! Simply start by peeling and slicing your sweet potatoes. Next, coat the sweet potatoes with a mixture of olive oil, honey, rosemary, salt and pepper and then bake them in the oven for about 20-30 minutes.

Just like with my Chili Roasted Potato Wedges, the oven works its magic on these roasted sweet potatoes. The edges are perfectly browned and the center is nice and soft.
