This recipe sounds easy & fairly healthy. Sweet potatoes go a long way in a recipe. I think adding the cinnamon is a good idea, especially for the kids. Thanks for recipe.

I am actually roasting sweet potatoes at this very moment, but I have added a lot of spices from the garden such as basil and cilatro, and I have also added garlic and paprika. It is a bit of an experiment, as I usually roast white potatoes, but today I had run out. So far they look very tasty though.
