Savory Sweet Potato Pie

The name sounds contrasting, "savory sweet potatoes", but I guarantee this combination of flavors is delicious and worth every calorie. Many of you are probably familiar with the fantastic combination of sweet potatoes, rosemary, and olive oil. As I roasted those ingredients together the other night, an idea came to me, why not make it a pie? Seeing as I had never even made sweet potato pie before and I wasn't even really a fan of the sweet version, a lot of research was in order. After an hour or so on the internet, I developed a recipe of my own and I have to say, I am quite proud of myself for doing so. Especially after tasting the test pie, I can say I am rightfully proud. I made one whole pie but as my family and I dined on as a side dish, we all came to the conclusion it would make a wonderful appetizer if made in a mini cupcake pan. You could even keep it as a side dish but make it individually portioned by baking them in a regular sized cupcake pan. If you choose to do this, biscuit cutters are your friends when it comes to pie dough. If you feel up to trying to make this cheesy, flavorful, and super easy to make pie, head over to my allrecipes page.
Those are Parmesan shavings on top, they make the pie a little prettier.
