I first came up with this recipe when I was trying to find a way to get more prebiotics and probiotics into my diet. I'm a big fan of lamb chops, and I love the way they taste when they're roasted. I also love the flavor of sweet potatoes, carrots, parsley, and mint. So I decided to combine all of these ingredients into one dish. The result was a delicious and healthy meal that I've been enjoying ever since.
