Description

Slightly crisp … incredibly tender … delectably sweet … satisfyingly savory … with just a hint of cayenne. Perfect!

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And Cut Into 3/4 Inch Rounds
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Rosemary
  • ½ teaspoons Fresh Ground Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Chili Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper

Preparation

In a bowl, toss all ingredients together until well coated. Place sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet covered in foil and coated with cooking spray. Place in a cold oven. Turn oven to 425 degrees and cook for 30 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and remove the top layer of foil. Place it back in the oven and cook for 10-25 minutes, or until the bottoms of the potatoes are golden.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes over. Return to the oven and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the bottoms of the potatoes are golden. Serve drizzled with honey for an extra special touch.

Note: if you want to further reduce the fat content, forego the olive oil. Instead, place potatoes on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Then, spray the potatoes with cooking spray and sprinkle seasonings on top. The end product won’t be quite the same, but you will save on fat while still getting quite a bit of flavor.

These were fantastic! I had my father and brother over for dinner – they raved that these were the best sweet potatoes they’ve ever had. My husband even requested that I put these in our regular cookbook. Thanks for the recipe!!

These are sooo good and the perfect blend of hot, sweet, and herby (if that’s a word)!
I cubed my sweet potatoes and cooked them for only 25 minutes because I wanted them ASAP!

I made these last night and they were delicious! I liked the seasoning and even my husband who isn’t big into sweet potatoes liked it! I agree with tonimiller143, you have to keep a close eye on them because mine were done a lot sooner than the recipe said.
