Spicy Sweet Potatoes

Recipes »  Side Dish  »  Potatoes

This is a fun and spicy way to prepare sweet potatoes. I bought these fresh at my local farmers orchard. They are sweet, salty and spicy, all my favorit flavors and goes well with BBQ chicken.

 "This was sooo delicious. My husband said it was his favorite way to have sweet potatoes. The kick is light so if you like it really spicy add some extra cayenne." - jlburgart

    This was awesome...and I even forgot the butter. Hubby wasn't crazy about them but I can't wait to eat them with my lunch tomorrow.

    These were pretty good. I would prefer them to be crispier though not sure if that's possible for sweet potatoes and I would like them spicier as well.

    This was a very nice variation on sweet potatoes. I used a chipotle chili powder which gave the dish a slight smoky flavor. Great dish!
