This dish is simple to prepare, simple to clean up, but complex in the combination of flavors. For the sweet potatoes, by cooking them in high heat for a long time, they caramelize and become luxuriously soft. And the best part? They don’t need anything added to them, but sea salt, saving between 100-300 calories on butter, honey, maple syrup, and anything else that might normally be added to your potato. Bravo!
