This is an amazing recipe. I cut the sweet potatoes into smaller chunks, tossed them with the olive oil and spices and baked them at 350 along with a little pork roast. We loved it.

    Nice change of pace from the usual sweet potato recipe. I sliced them into french fry size. I wish they were a bit firmer but they were still very good. Thanks, Barb.

    I took the previous suggestions to heart and cut the potatoes into 1/2" fries, sprayed them with cooking spray and sprinkled them liberally with the seasoning. They baked on a cookie sheet in about 30 minutes. Excellent way to enjoy them, Barb.

    These turned out great! I put all the seasonings in a bowl, added the oil and mixed well. I then dumped the slice potatoes into the seasoned bowl to coat. Once coated, I transfered the potatoes on to a foil-lined pan and baked. This was really easy to prepare and so good to eat.
