Father Frost is still holding his grip on the northern hemisphere. Especially here in Montreal. Yesterday was like -20°C… Needless to say, eating warming foods are a must. Roasted vegetables are both filling, cheap and easy to make.
In this recipe the sweet potatoes bring a healthy dose of vitamin A+C and fiber, while the turmeric boosts powerful anti-inflammatory properties. The thyme is anti viral and cinnamon (if using the true, ceylon cinnamon) is great for your sugar metabolism. This is the perfect side or main dish to stay healthy in the cold 🙂
