Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • In a zip-top plastic bag, toss potatoes and oil.
  • Combine remaining ingredients; add to bag; toss to coat.
  • Transfer to a greased 11x7 inch baking dish.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring every 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes: This will help the steam escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can do this by baking, roasting, or microwaving them. Baking or roasting usually takes about an hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Microwaving takes about 5 to 7 minutes per potato.
  • Make the sauce while the sweet potatoes are cooking: This will save you time and effort. Combine garlic, olive oil, onion, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes with the sauce: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, drizzle them with the sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

Conclusion:

This recipe for hot and spicy sweet potatoes is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this healthy vegetable. The sweet potatoes are roasted until tender and then drizzled with a spicy sauce made with garlic, olive oil, onion, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. Serve the sweet potatoes as a side dish or main course, and enjoy!
