What's for Dinner? Sweet Potato Sheet Pan

Sue Maree P -

What's for dinner? I am sharing a Sweet Potato Sheet Pan recipe, this takes 10 minutes to prepare and 45 minutes to bake. This sheet pan recipe includes spiced sweet potato, roasted carrots, pumpkin seeds, chickpeas and served with fresh leaves and a drizzle of yoghurt dressing. Mix and match what vegetables you have on-hand. Swap out the sweet potato for butternut pumpkin.

What's for Dinner? I will share how I adapt my ideas and create easy dinner ideas.

Quite often, I stare into the fridge and say to myself what's for dinner. I love to create recipes according to what I have on hand. I try to avoid visiting the supermarket too many times. I decided to start this series to share some of my favourite dinner ideas they will be mainly vegetarian and semi-healthy. If you have any requests for a video or recipe idea, I would love to hear from you. Please send me a message to Sue Maree P via YouTube, Instagram or Facebook or send me an email suemareep@gmail.com.
