Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Apples
Recipe Submitted by Joan
While we often encounter signs at the supermarket that have "yams" written on them, it may interest you to know that most of what is sold as yams is really only two common varieties of sweet potatoes. The sweetest is the orange fleshed variety of the sweet potato and the other is yellow fleshed and not as sweet, as well as a bit more dry. A true yam has an off white flesh, is much larger than a sweet potato, native to Central America and much less likely to be found in the produce section of our favorite store!

Vegetarian-Fun would like to thank Joan, one of our subscribers, for the contribution of one of her favorite recipes using sweet potatoes:
