Thanksgiving Day Menu: Roasted sweet potatoes with garlic and pecans (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO)

You know this I get this recipe from my mom because she loves to roast whatever can be roasted on this Earth: potatoes, pumpkins, squash, turnips, and, of course, sweet potatoes. She also loves all kinds of nuts and she's a master combining textures and colors…

As colorful and flavorful as these sweet potatoes are, they are also super easy to cook. They make a very nice side dish or a super cool appetizer when topped with baby arugula leaves, like in the above picture.
