Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Yams


These roasted sweet potatoes and yams are so simple to make. A friend of mine told me to add a little bit of maple syrup to the sweet potatoes, which I tried and loved! I drizzled maple syrup onto the sliced sweet potatoes and yams along with sea salt, crushed red pepper flakes and garlic powder. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. This is the perfect side dish, just add a protein and another veggie side and you are good to go!

Happy Cooking!

Broiled Lobster tails with Roasted Zucchini and Asparagus

                                                                                               
                                                                                                                      
My Dad surprised me with these beauties the other day as they were on sale. I decided to go the simple route and broil them. They came already cut down the middle of the shell. You should pull the meat away from the shell before cooking, if not the meat will stick to the shell. I sliced some butter for each tail, seasoned with paprika, freshly dried parsley and a pinch of sea salt. I drizzled some white wine in the pan to add a little flavor and popped them in the oven for 10-12 minutes on broil. They came out perfect! I also made roasted Zucchini and Asparagus.

                                                                                                                             
In a large bowl, mix cut zucchini and asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, shaved parmesan, sea salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, oregano and garlic powder. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. So yummy!
