Loved this completely. Used red onions, fresh pineapple and a little more rosemary but otherwise as is. Combination is amazing, fresh and tangy. Great on its own but also served it in jerk chicken wraps with fresh salsa. Whole family loved it. I kept it in oven a little longer to get a few charred edges letting the pineapple and onion caramelise a little which I thought was a nice touch. Will definitely make again.

This was DELICIOUS! Wouldn't change a thing! It was just what I was looking for for my caribbean-themed fish dinner. Took me right back to the islands. -
I loved this! I used a 20 ounce can of diced pineapple because I didn't have fresh available. I also used a red onion. The combination was wonderful! I love the sweetness of the pineapple with the sweet potato. -
Very easy and very tasty. We did find the dish too sweet with the pineapple and omitted this second time round. The combination of balsamic and rosemary with the sweet potato is unusual but very much complimentary. The result was pretty amazing and will definitely feature often in future as menu item. -
This was a very easy recipe. The balsamic vinegar and onions were fantastic with the sweet potatoes. I didn't have a fresh pineapple, so I used tinned and it worked very well. This will be a Thanksgiving dish. A keeper recipe. Thanks AM.

I have been cooking ever since I can remember. I'm always experimenting with new recipes and new ingredients. Life is too short to make the same thing twice!
I'm an author living in Ontario, Canada with my husband and two picky kids. We will be moving to Savannah, Georgia in the next year so I am honing my Southern cooking skills (although I may NEVER get my husband to like collard greens). I love all the great recipes and info on 'Zaar, and look forward to being more active here.
