This seems hardly fair, to create an entire recipe for just these little sweet potatoes. But these are such a tasty side dish to just about any meat and my kids love them (when she was a toddler, my youngest called them “yam circles”). They are a no-sugar version of the candied “yams” (which were really sweet potatoes and not technically yams) I used to make. As an option, you can cut the sweet potato into thick wedges for sweet potato fries instead!
