Raise your hand if you love sweet potatoes!
Roasted sweet potatoes are delicious by themselves but when paired with a chipotle aioli…OMG. This aioli is completely plant-based and is actually made out of sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds are rich in b vitamins and are a great source of iron, calcium, magnesium, protein, vitamin E, zinc, potassium, and healthy fats. Sweet potatoes are also amazing for your health – they are high in vitamin A, high in fiber, vitamin C, rich with beta-carotene, they prevent cancer, lower blood pressure, balance hormones, and promote relaxation.
