Rosemary roasted sweet potatoes (Bento)

One of our favorite easy side dishes are these rosemary garlic roasted sweet potatoes. They’re simple, quick and require very little planning. My son loves sweet potatoes so we always have some on hand. Sometimes I crave something less sweet and a bit more savory so this is the recipe we use for those times.

These potatoes go great with eggs in the morning if you have leftovers or you could pack them in your bento. If possible try to cut the pieces generally about the same size so they cook evenly, it doesn’t need to be perfect though! We leave the skins on for a little more texture and added nutrients, but if you don’t like the skins feel free to peel them first.
