I love to create new recipes for fabulous vegetables that are interesting and tasty. Sweet potatoes are delicious, and I love the traditional mashed and baked with marshmallow topping. Sometimes I like to have fun and use different seasonings with sweet potatoes. Excellent addition to your Thanksgiving feast!

This recipe adds a little more work with the slicing and arranging of the sweet potatoes and is worth the extra effort. And you can change up the spices and have a variety of unique flavorings for the dish.
