Ready to elevate your usual roasted sweet potato? You’ve GOT to try this pistachio lime vinaigrette with it – it’s truly amazing paired together. Plus, all of those healthy fats found in pistachios can help your body absorb all of the Vitamin A that’s found in sweet potatoes. A win-win situation overall! 

Ingredients:

• 4 large sweet potatoes, sliced to 1-inch wedges
