Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potato Bake

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

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!

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 4 medium sweet potatoes (peeled, and cut into 1 inch cubes or larger)
• ¼ cup melted butter (or use oil)
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ½-1 teaspoon chili powder , to taste
• 2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• 1⁄8;-¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to suit heat level)

Directions:

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!

Really Awesome. I found it was not necessary to put the potatoes in a plastic zip bag. Mixing them in a bowl did a good job too. I spit the brown sugar mixture with splenda.I also added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the mixture and it was fabu!

These are amazing. They were a huge hit at Easter dinner & I just cut the potatoes into strips/fries and grilled them on tinfoil on the grill outside & they were amazing!

These were really good. The brown sugar overpowered the other spices, so next time I may add more of the others. Just the right amount of butter, if not too much. Thanks!
