Roasted Asparagus and Sweet Yams

Beautiful eaters ✨ Last night, I made my first full vegan dish! It smelled so delicious and tasted just as splendid. Even my roomie and her friend greatly enjoyed this recipe which means a lot as my roomie told me she was not a huge fan of asparagus until she tried it this way!
