Sauteed String Beans + Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Here are two more veggie sides to add into your rotation! I’ve been making a batch of roasted broccoli and carrots for a while now, but we recently started adding sauteed string beans and roasted sweet potatoes into the mix.
They are both super easy to make and a perfect side dish for lunch or dinner - and even go great in a lunchbox.
When we have leftovers after making a batch of these for dinner, I’ll store in the refrigerator and warm up as a side for Jack when needed. Love having cooked veggies in the refrigerator at all times for this reason!
