This is delicious! I like the sweet potato with the sea salt combo. I just used a little spray oil for the roasting and it worked out well. I also added a couple sprigs of rosemary to the roasting pan. The smell was out of this world! They are a nice healthy appetizer. I served with some greek yogurt to dip. Made and Reviewed for your Cookathon.

I had a yam and some feta to use up; so this seemed to fit the bill. This has the potential of being really awesome, but it lacks something. I added garlic, but the result was bland and unimpressive. Maybe some bacon? Also,too greasy for me. I will tinker with this; stay tuned.
