Roasted sweet potatoes, onions, and rutabaga with various citrus juices squeezed on top. I didn't like sweet potatoes until I made this for my sweet potato-loving family. Now I have them whenever I can! This is a great side dish anywhere you would regularly serve mashed potatoes. Honestly, I've eaten a bowl of just this as a meal. Feel free to season as you'd like.

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
