Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced in half lengthwise, and cut into wedges about 4 inches long
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with baking parchment or foil.
  • In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, cumin, and cayenne. Spread the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle the oil over the wedges and toss to coat.
  • Transfer the wedges to the bowl and toss completely with the spice mixture to coat each piece. Return the potatoes to the baking sheet and spread out in a single layer.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Turn over the wedges. Raise the heat to 400 degrees. Bake for 10 to 15 more minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The sweet potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the spices really bring out their flavor.
