PREP ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND SUNFLOWER SEEDS

PREP ROSEMARY MAPLE SYRUP
- In a skillet add all ingredients for Rosemary Maple syrup, except for blackberries. Keep blackberries aside for now
- Heat ingredients in a skillet over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Once it starts to bubble, drop heat down to medium-low. Cook down syrup until the water cooks out and the rosemary flavor is infused
- Once syrup is done infusing with flavor and cooking off the water, remove rosemary sprigs. Note** you still want the syrup to be liquid and syrupy. Don't cook to long and turn it into a thick caramel
