I followed the recipe as it was but after I made it I found it very bitter. I added 1 packet of sweetener just to cut the flavor and it turned out perfect. Not sweet but a very good sauce for the sweet potato.

Haven't eaten sweet potatoes much unless I made them unhealthy in pies or loaded with brown sugar and butter until I was diagnosed with diabetes and have now been trying to eat them in healthy ways. I loved this recipe especially the contrasting flavors of the sweet in the potatoes with the tartness in the lemon with the dill and garlic. I threw a couple variations in the recipe. I roasted sweet potatoes for 20 minutes then flipped them and roasted another 10 minutes on 425. I decreased the 1/2 cup fat free yogurt by 1 tablespoon and added 1 tablespoon light sour cream, I used 1 teaspoon of dried dill in place of 1/8 cup fresh chopped dill (didn't have the fresh dill on hand). My wife and I loved these roasted sweet potatoes and will be definitely adding them to our weekly menu. We roast 4 or 5 sweet potatoes and make up a bowl of the yogurt sauce and refrigerate them separately to take out and microwave potatoes for 15 seconds for snack or already have this dish made up for a meal dish. Thanks for this recipe.

Roasted sweet potatoes are good on their own. The sauce is way too tart and doesn’t add anything to the sweet potatoes. In fact, I scraped it off and threw it out after supper.
No, I don’t recommend
