How to Make Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Simple & delicious?! These 2 words sum up why I’m a sweet potato fan. Chopping and roasting sweet potatoes yields a quick & easy, crave-worthy side. I typically roast sweet potatoes with a mixture of spices (chili powders, cumin, etc). But this recipe simplifies the process further by using only 1 seasoning: Herbs De Provence. It’s a blend of Italian herbs, including lavender, which adds a subtle floral note.
