Why It Works
Roasting the sweet potatoes at a high temperature helps to caramelize the sugars in the potatoes, which gives them a delicious sweet and slightly crispy exterior.
The honey mustard dressing is a perfect complement to the roasted sweet potatoes. The sweetness of the honey balances out the tanginess of the mustard, and the vinegar adds a touch of acidity that brightens up the flavors.
The fresh parsley adds a touch of color and freshness to the dish.
