Roasted Japanese Sweet Potato Salad
Japanese sweet potatoes are high in healthy carbs with dietary fiber and provide a great source of energy, which is why they are particularly enjoyed by farmers and hard labor workers in Japan. They are also a great source of vitamins (especially vitamin A), minerals, potassium, and iron. You can serve it warm, room temperature, or cold. My preference is to make it the night before and eat cold the next day.
