Chili Roasted Sweet Potatoes
We stumbled upon this recipe sometime when we lived in Tucson. After living there for 3 years and San Diego for 6, we developed a taste for spicier foods. This warming sweet potatoes recipe can be made as spicy or not as you prefer, but it’s one of our cold weather favorites.
Scale
Ingredients
(Makes 4 side-dish servings-I usually double this)
- 1 1/2 pounds (about 3 medium) sweet potatoes
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cayenne
- 1 TB olive oil
- lime sliced for each place
- 1 to 2 drops Cumin essential oil (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 3/4 inch chunks or fries.
- Place in large bowl and sprinkle with spices and mix.
- Drizzle with oil and mix well again. Arrange chunks in layer on rimmed baking stone or roasting pan (non-aluminum is healthiest).
- Roast on lower rack for about 20 minutes, or until chunks brown on the bottom and feel tender when pierced with a fork. Squeeze the lime juice onto the sweet potatoes. Incredible!
