Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Onions

SUBMITTED BY: USA WEEKEND columnist Jean Carper PHOTO BY: Holly Chadwick

"This delicious side dish is packed with nutrition. Sweet potatoes, onions and almonds are powerhouses of antioxidants and other nutrients -- in fact, almonds are among the most nutrient-dense foods, containing high concentrations of vitamins and minerals per calorie. Plus, olive oil and almonds contain monounsaturated fat -- the good type."
