Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potato Bake

By JoyT

This is a must at your holiday dinner table, It has just the right balance of sweet and spicy --- cooking time will vary depending on the size you cut the sweet potatoes you will love these!

Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes (peeled, and cut into 1 inch cubes or larger)
• 1/4 cup melted butter (or use oil)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2-1 teaspoon chili powder, to taste
• 2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to suit heat level)

Preparation

Step 1

1 In a resealable plastic bag toss the cubed sweet potatoes with melted butter or oil; add the rest of ingredients; toss well to coat. 2 Transfer to a greased baking dish (large enough to hold the potatoes in one layer). 3 Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for about 22-25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender but not too soft (tossing with a wooden spoon or spatula about every 15-20 minutes, baking time will vary depending on the size you cut the potatoes). 4 *NOTE* careful not to over bake as the potatoes will become mushy. 5 Delicious!
