Just here to show you guys how beautiful my roasted sweet potato came out. I used to love sweet potato growing up, so much that I used to eat it raw. I served my sweet potatoes with pork braai chops and mushroom sauce. The pork recipe is somewhere on my highlights. Wishing everyone an amazing weekend!
