On the Side: Honey Dijon Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Here is a relatively easy side dish with a little twist, for those days you need to mix things up a little.  I feel like I often get stuck in a rut when it comes to vegetable sides...right now my obsession is apple cider glazed green beans, before this it was cooked carrots with dill. So I am always on the look out for something new to add into the rotation.

These sweet potatoes do just the trick.  A departure from my usual green beans or carrots.  Plus the addition of the mustard makes them a little different...but not different enough that they are hard to pair.  These go with just about everything.
