I wasn't a fan of the texture of these coconut sweet potatoes. They were a bit too mushy for my taste.

The sweet potatoes took longer to cook than the recipe stated. I had to keep them in the oven for an extra 15 minutes.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra chili powder and cumin to give it more flavor.

These coconut sweet potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less coconut milk and more spices.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I made a double batch and froze half of them for later. They reheat beautifully and are just as delicious as when they were first made.
