Pan-Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Dried Cherries & Pecans

I made this last night and it really was quite tasty and with one change, very easy. Instead of frying the potato slices, I tossed with the oil, salt and pepper and baked them in the oven on a sheet pan for 20 minutes at 425 degrees. They came out perfect. I also rough chopped the cherries so that they were more evenly distributed on all servings. Everything was delicious.

We really enjoy healthy sweet potatoes that are not overly sweetened beyond the natural sweetness. I made the original recipe and also tried a version with figs, skipping the honey. Also delicious.

Ok... I made a few of changes to this recipe (mostly trying to use what I had on hand), but I really liked it (and I think I still got the gist of the recipe) . I swapped Aleppo pepper for cayenne (used 1/4 tsp) and instead of dried sour cherries, I soaked currants in balsamic vinegar then reduced them down until there wasn't much liquid left. Also- I swapped the nuts for chopped toasted hazlenuts. (I would toast the walnuts or pecans) The flavor was great! Sometimes it's really hard to figure out what to do with sweet potatoes :)
