Crispy Roast Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Just like traditional roast potatoes, but with sweet potatoes, as they are tastier, prettier and healthier. The secret ingredient that makes them super crispy is the polenta. These are perfect served with a nut loaf for a Sunday roast, for Christmas or any celebration meal.
