My friend Chef Jerry Yu from Vegetable restaurant in Los Angeles has shared this easy and delicious sweet potato side dish recipe with me after a recent lunch visit to his place! I love how simple and flavorful this dish is. These can either be cooked in a cast iron skillet or in the oven.
Serve with a big green salad for a light supper or hearty lunch.
This also makes a wonderful side dish at the holidays 🙂
