For side dish, June and Helmut prepared some Roasted Sweet Potatoes at the South Arm Cooking Club for Seniors.
I simply love Roasted Sweet Potatoes. They are sweet and earthy. I like to make this healthier alternative to snack foods when hosting parties.

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or cumin, optional

 Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks. |
 Toss potatoes with oil and seasonings in a large mixing bowl until potatoes are evenly coated with seasonings. |
 Spread potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in a 400F preheated oven. Turn the sweet potatoes over halfway through to promote even cooking and browning.When done, they should be tender with the edges just turning golden brown.
