Chipotle roasted sweet potatoes with sesame seeds are one of the best side dishes to pair with any meal during the week. Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins and nutrients and can be prepared in endless ways.
These tri-color sweet potatoes are baked with chipotle powder, garlic powder and salt & pepper, then finished off with a drizzle of honey and some sesame seeds. I love serving them over yogurt or whipped feta with a drizzle of tahini sauce.
