Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds Sweet Potatoes

  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil

  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar

  • 3 Teaspoon Original Creole Seasoning

  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

  • Clear

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Dice them into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Place diced sweet potatoes onto a sheet pan. Do not overcrowd or overlap. Use two or more sheet pans if needed.
  4. Drizzle sweet potatoes with olive oil, brown sugar and Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning (see Note 1).
  5. Using your hands or spatula, toss diced sweet potatoes until they are evenly coated, then spread them out on the sheet pan. Again, do not overcrowd or overlap them.
  6. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss/stir sweet potatoes using a spatula. Spread them out again and bake for another 5-10 minutes. Check them at the 5-minute mark to make sure they are not burned (see Note 2).
  7. Serve and enjoy!

Note 1:

Use more Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning if you like your sweet potatoes with more spice.

Note 2:

Oven temperatures may vary and you may need to cook the potatoes longer. Check frequently to make sure it is not burned since it is coated in brown sugar.
