What a delightful way to prepare sweet potatoes. I prepared this dish as written using Purple Sweeties which I baked in the oven. I find that sweet potatoes are sweet enough and don't need any additional sugar. This spice mix made the flavour much more interesting. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT4

Love this blend of seasoning on the sweet potatoes! I found though, that gosh darn, I love a sweet, sweet potatoe- so I ended up adding 1/3 cup of brown sugar to the seasoning mix. I'm telling ya, it's soooo great!!

I had never heard of doing a sweet potato any way other than frying, baking (adding brown sugar and butter, only) or stewing, or the casserole, but this is an excellent change, will definitely do it again.
