Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Simple Cranberry Sauce

  • 1 cup frozen cranberries (unsweetened - fresh berries work too)
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 tbsp. honey

Everything Else

  • ½ cup chopped pecans (toasted)
  • 2 tbsp. chopped, fresh parsley (per person)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

  • Toss the potatoes with the oil and some salt and pepper, then spread them out on a sheet and roast until soft with crispy outer edges.

  • While the potatoes roast, in a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, water, and honey. Bring to a light boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook over low heat until the cranberries begin to burst and form a sauce. You can smash them with a fork or a potato masher if they are being stubborn.
