One of my all time favorites foods to eat is a sweet potato. I just love them! They compliment most main courses, or can be the main dish themselves. Sweet potato tacos is a favorite at my house!
Roasting sweet potatoes is my favorite way to prepare them. Sometimes I roasted them with a little sausage added in, or with taco seasoning to make them for tacos, or my all time favorite way is with apples, cinnamon and chopped pecans.
First I peel the sweet potato and cut them into cubes. Then I layer them in a baking dish and add a chopped apple. I lightly drizzle olive oil on top, mix well, and then sprinkle cinnamon on them. Next I will toss a handful of chopped pecans, stir them one last time and put them in a pre-heated oven at 375 for about 40 minutes.
My favorite cinnamon seasoning for sweet potatoes is Buttery Cinnamon Roll by Flavor Gods, but any cinnamon will do.
Check to make sure your sweet potatoes are soft before removing them from the oven. If they are still hard, cook them for another 5 minutes or until they are soft. I like making a large batch for leftovers! They pair great with eggs in the morning!
