Notes
Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
- For perfectly caramelized sweet potatoes do not use parchment paper or a baking mate. Place the potatoes directly on the cookie sheet.
- SALT! I can't say it enough, sweet potatoes need SALT! So don't be shy, make sure you season these liberally.
- Make a tiny slice on the backside of each potato before roasting so that they sit nicely on the plate when served. There's nothing fun about chasing a rounded sweet potato around your plate.
