Rosemary Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes

I love roasted sweet potatoes as a side dish, because not only are they packed with flavor, they are packed with nutrients!  This recipe is easy to make and requires minimal hands on time, but the result is delicious!  These are perfect served as a side at Thanksgiving dinner, or any fall or winter meal!
