    1. It gets started with 4 big sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into rounds. I was able to get about 30, half-inch thick sweet potato rounds divided between two baking sheets.
    2. Coat lightly with olive oil and roast ten minutes or until fork tender.

    2. Top each sweet potato round with a generous spoonful of butter, brown sugar and pecans.

      I started shopping at Aldi a few months ago and love saving money on their products. Not only are the items cheaper but most of them are healthier than regular name brands.

        Kelly - I agree! They have a ton of healthy and organic products at some great prices! I was really surprised to find all of the 'gourmet' items like meats, cheese and fancy crackers for entertaining, too!
