Out of this world recipe! Thanks Roosie. I didn't have any pine nuts on hand and I used dried rosemary. I think fresh would have tasted better. Next time I'll add the pine nuts and make sure I have fresh rosemary. It was a big hit at our Sunday dinner get-together.

A good simple side dish (especially if you already have the oven on for a roast). You can substitute toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds for the pine nuts.

I omitted the pine nuts and fresh parsley out of necessity (didn't have any), and added onions. Very good and a change from my usual roasted sweet potatoes with balsamic vinegar. Thanks for posting!

This was an awesome addition to my Thanksgiving dinner! I omitted the pine nuts because a guest was allergic, but they were still fantastic. And a simple dish to prepare as well. Thanks Roosie, another one for the keeper file!

I make both white and sweet potatoes this way and it's delicious! I do prefer the taste of sweet potatoes and this is a great combination of flavors. The only thing I do differently is omit the pine nuts because both my children have nut allergies. I highly recommend this side dish and your house will smell great while it's cooking too. Thanks for posting Roosie.
