Pin these Roasted Sweet Potatoes for later.
How do you like your sweet potatoes? Do you like them sweet or do you like them savory? I personally like them savory, unless they are in a sweet bread. When I discovered that you can serve savory sweet potatoes, I liked sweet potatoes.
Since then I usually bake my sweet potatoes and serve them with a simple ranch dressing. By baking the sweet potato it still satisfies Craig because he prefers his sweet and will top his with a simple cinnamon sugar.
Today I have another wonderful way for us savory lovers to enjoy our sweet potato, roasted sweet potatoes with rosemary garlic aioli! Roasted sweet potatoes are quite easy to make – I also ended up adding purple fingerling potatoes and golden potatoes. But the rosemary garlic aioli is so good poured drizzled over the potatoes. I couldn’t get enough.

This sounds like a perfect combination. Loving the colors on those potatoes (that purple!), and I want to try making this soon. Thank you Ellen!

I hope you like it as much as I do. The purple potatoes are awesome but they do stain, be warned.
