I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chipotle sauce and spiced pecans really helped to balance out the sweetness of the potatoes.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I often make a big batch of roasted sweet potatoes on the weekend and then use them to make this dish during the week.
