Simple Roasted Sweets

By

This one is super easy folks!  Today’s post gives you the lowdown on how to make a simple side dish that also doubles as a lunchtime salad. My Simple Roasted Sweets start with sweet potatoes that have been diced and coated with a little extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  I’ve added a touch of fresh rosemary to give this dish a little holiday cheer.

After the sweet potatoes have been roasted, simply add a splash of fresh squeezed lime juice and toss with roasted pistachios, hemp seeds and pomegranate arils.  

Note:  I happen to love the combination of roasted pistachios and pomegranate arils, not only very pretty but also nutritious. The hemp seeds give this dish a boost of protein which is always a win in my book.

Benefits of Hemp Seeds in our Simple Roasted Sweets:

  • 3 tablespoons of hemp seeds provide a whopping 10 grams of powerful plant protein that contains all 8 essential amino acids.   
  • A balanced source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.  
  • Rich in fiber and an excellent source of iron, magnesium and zinc.
