CUBAN SWEET POTATO SALAD

You know, how sometimes you feel blue? Well I felt orange the other day. Yes, I know, this doesn't make any sense. What does "feeling orange" even means? Truth is I have no idea what to say here.  In a way, It doesn't make any sense to me neither, but in another somehow it does. I swear to god I didn't use any drugs.

Anyway, feeling orange lead me to hearing the little voice in my head telling me this: "you have to bake sweet potatoes" (By the way, the little voice in my head speaks english with a perfect accent.) This potatoes are so sweet (I wonder why we call them sweet potatoes? :p) and flavorful. I love them. This recipe is based on this blog recipe. It's so sunny, fresh, healthy and wonderfully tasty.
