Honey Lime Sweet Potatoes:: Gluten-free and Vegan

Sweet potatoes are not just for Thanksgiving. They are loaded with key vitamins and nutrients and are easy to digest. In Chinese medicine, they are really beneficial for our spleen which controls digestion. Combining sweet potatoes with pecans and cilantro give it an added kick. I had this side dish with pork ribs and it really complemented the zest of the BBQ sauce. This dish could also stand alone as a meal, just add come cooked and shredded chicken on top!
