I was very excited to try this dish after I saw it in Cooking Light, and I was surprised that there wasn't a more pronounced flavor. I think that a flavor other than sage might work better in this dish, maybe some Moroccan spices like cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. Overall, it was a nice side dish for fall when pumpkin and sweet potato are in season.
