These garlic roasted sweet potatoes are a wonderful fall side dish and a delicious addition to a holiday meal. Roasting the sweet potatoes brings out their sweetness. They are tossed in a wonderful combination of spices. Garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and a touch of liquid smoke add lots of flavor to the sweet potatoes. Once roasted, they're sweet, savory, and almost creamy. A great way to get kids to eat their veggies.
