The aroma of cinnamon roasted veggies and brown butter are definitely my favourite scents in the kitchen. It does take a little longer to brown butter, but the crispiness and nutty flavour is worthid. It is amazing to watch butter go from frothy richness to golden nuttiness, and that’s the secret to these delicious potatoes.
These roasted sweet potatoes combine the deliciousness of cinnamon and brown butter, making it totally irresistible.
This dish works well when paired with a chicken or meat dish. It would be delicious as a salad as well.
As with all my recipes, this dish is quick and easy to make as long as all the ingredients are on hand.
