Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Pancetta, Pecans & Raisins

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Looking for something different to do with your sweet potatoes? You might want to give these Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Pancetta, Pecans & Raisins a try. They’re crazy good…and much more fun (and healthier) than the typical sweet potato casserole loaded with butter, sugar and marshmallows!

This dish is really simple to make and has some awesome flavor to it! First off, let me just say how much I’m in love with this Maple Mustard Vinaigrette.  It’s such a fantastic vinaigrette on vegetables.  I use it frequently with broccoli and brussels sprouts so I knew it would be perfect for this sweet potato dish as well. I added some pancetta for a little meaty saltiness and some crimson raisins for sweetness (dried cranberries would be a good substitute). For a little extra crunch and texture I added some chopped pecans.
