My guest and I enjoyed this for lunch. It certainly was quick to put together. For what it's worth, my microwave cooked the sweet potatoes in 10 minutes. Next time around, I might reduce the chili powder and add some cumin, as I really like that flavor. Here's to good health and good taste. Thanks.

This was a nice and easy recipe to make - and very tasty! My microwave also cooked the sweet potatoes in 10 minutes. I'll make this one again!
