EASY Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary Recipe

Baked sweet potatoes

There’s something very special when I think about my mother growing up, apron on cooking in the kitchen, because she took cooking for her family quite seriously. She took it to heart and wanted well-balanced meals for my dad and her 3 girls. My mom baked a lot of sweet potaotes!

Move forward another 40+ years, and I see myself doing as my mother taught me. Cooking for my family! (Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary, pork loin, sweet orange carrots, with my apron on from Ali–one of my favorite bloggers at Gimme Some Oven.)

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Food that keeps a family together

Sadly, we live in a time where people are so  busy, we opt to buy prepared meals, or eat out-on the run. Sometimes we barely get the table set. I know, because I was that busy mom for many years.

It’s love and food that keeps a family together, along with community, faith, courage, and grit.

Homemaking and good old-fashioned cooking, is a way to nourish our family’s souls and hopefully keep us connected at the hip. Tight, strong, an act of love. And so much happens around the family table!

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary

Lately we’ve been enjoying roasted sweet potatoes (or sometimes yams). Leaving the skins on, they are crisper on the outside, because they are rubbed with olive oil, coarse salt, and a light touch of pepper.

Then the specialty is finely chopped, fresh rosemary sprinkled on top!

They are so sweet and delicious, you don’t even need butter.

Delicious.

BEST Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary

I’m glad I grew up with baked potatoes. It’s a good memory, watching that butter and sour cream melt all over the potato and dinner plate, probably running in to meatloaf or a hamburger patty, or a piece of chicken.

Or, have you tried roasting them with your favorite cheese grated on top? Oh, boy!

Enjoy!
