Rosemary Roasted Sweet Potatoes

These Rosemary Roasted Sweet Potatoes are one of my family’s favorite Thanksgiving Menu Recipes.

Thanksgiving is all about tradition in my house.  For the most part, we have the same recipes, year after year.  Most of them were passed down from my grandmother to my mother and now to me.  I love pulling out the old recipe cards and time-worn handwritten instructions.  Something about it is very comforting to me.

Once in a while, though, I’ll venture out and try something new for my holiday menu.  This is one of those recipes.

My mom actually came up with this recipe.  Instead of brown sugar, marshmallows and the like, these sweet potatoes are roasted with garlic, fresh rosemary and Parmesan cheese.   The flavor is incredible and you don’t have to feel so guilty about the extra calories.
