I decided it's time to eat more vegetables. Last night, I was looking to make a sweet potato side dish. Looking through Allrecipes, most sweet potato dishes were of the candied variety - not what I was looking for. Then I came upon this awesome recipe. I think I could eat it everyday.
Here's my version:
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
olive oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1.5 T paprika
0.5 t black pepper
0.5 t onion powder
0.5 t garlic powder
0.5 t chili powder
pinch of cayenne pepper
salt to taste
Preheat oven to 400. Coat the potatoes in a little oil (or a lot of if you're not trying to be healthy). Cook in the microwave. Mix up the spices. After the potatoes are mostly cooked, toss them in the spices. And bake on a cookie sheet coated with oil or cooking spray for about 15-20 minutes til they are a little crunchy. Enjoy!
Skip the microwave step, if you're not in a hurry. With the microwave, it took me 25 minutes, start to dinner.
I ate these for dinner with pork last night and again this morning with eggs for breakfast. Delicious!
