Sweet Potato, Spinach & Pine Nut Bake
This is a delicious side dish that is not only great to serve with a hot Christmas lunch but as a general side for throughout the year. It also makes a nice addition to a vegetarian lunch. It’s a nice change from a traditional potato bake and just as easy to whip up. To change this dish up, use any veggies you like as the base. A mixture of cauliflower and broccoli is just as delicious and lower in carbs.
