Earth Roast

For all of you who have been following my posts, you have probably noticed my adoration of the sweet potato. I always enjoyed eating this rich root veggie, but it wasn't until my move to Toronto that I really became partial to them. Not only are they abundant in China Town and Kensington Market, they are also extremely affordable. I once purchased a sweet potato for $0.19 per pound. Amazing, I know. I recently learned that the skin of one medium sweet potato contains the same amount of protein as a serving of cream cheese. Music to a Vegan Vixen's ears. The Earth Roast is a variation of some of my other veggie roast recipes, using parsnip and thyme. Hope you enjoy!
