[Magdalen] Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.

[Molly Wolf]

I cut sweet potatoes into spear-shaped chunks, toss them in a little oil, spread them out on parchment paper, and bake them at 400*F, turning them over after about 15 minutes, until they are nicely caramelized.  Yums.  Also good in soup with President's Choice peanut-soy Szechuan sauce, called in our household Panda Juice for the animal on the label.
