I'd never seen a sweet potato up until about 4 years ago. I was on a mission to try a new fruit or veggie every week, and eventually sweet potatoes made the shopping list. Mostly I bake them up and serve them with some butter and cinnamon-sugar.
This recipe caught my eye in the new Cooking Light Fresh Food Fast and it seemed like the perfect side to the Asiago Crusted Pork Chops. Definitely a winner, simple and delicious!
