Oven Roasted Autumn Medley

Recipe adapted from here! I adore cheap/healthy recipes that don’t require a whole lot of prep time. Like the Nature’s Candy, the only real addition I made was the purple yams. I also didn’t have sage or rosemary (this totally reminds me of the song, Scarborough Fair–“parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme”–at least I had half of those?), so I threw in some thyme (I could totally make that into a punny joke, but I won’t).

I want to say that this is arguably one of the best-tasting things I’ve ever made. It’s deliciously savory and perfect for a cold day (or night). <3 I gave some to Monika to try and Mike/Isaac were fighting each other over it, so I like to think it was a win. It made my apartment smell absolutely amazing and it was all I could do to not sit and stare at the oven in hopes that it’d be ready faster. (I baked these right after I made the other sweet potato dish. Hooray for maximizing oven time! :O )
