As I mentioned in my post earlier this week, I had the amazing opportunity to share some of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes on WNEP’s Home and Backyard! The folks at Home and Backyard tried out a new format — they hosted the entire show right from my house! I thought it was a fun way to bring the various segments together.

The first recipe I made was my mom’s recipe for Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes. It’s a savory version of one my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes. Instead of brown sugar, marshmallows and the like, I top mine with garlic, fresh rosemary and Parmesan cheese! The flavor is incredible! And, you don’t have to feel so guilty about the extra calories!

If you are looking to try a new side dish this holiday season, these are a great option!

If you missed the Thanksgiving episode of WNEP’s Home and Backyard, you can catch my other recipe for Pumpkin Pie Squares here.

Watch me make my Rosemary Sweet Potatoes on WNEP’s Home and Backyard:
