Roasted Sweet Potato Salsa

My daughter found this in a magazine ( actually it was her husband who found it and asked her to make it).  She loved it, so I gave it a try.  What a wonderfully refreshing change from normal salsa!  So good for you too.  It is amazingly sweet - roasting the sweet potatoes and onions brings out the natural sugars.  I think it would make a great appetizer for a party this Christmas.  I served it with tortilla chips, but it would be delicious on a chopped salad or on tacos (which my husband tried and loved).

 Cut the sweet potatoes and red onions into small diced pieces and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast about 20 minutes.
