10 Stars!?! Wow! Definitely has the full cajun bite, but the small amount of brown sugar brings out the sweetness in these perfectly baked sweet potatoes. This delicious and diabetic-friendly, too? Wowee! This goes right into rotation, I'm making the spice mixture in a larger quantity and keeping on hand in the freezer. Thanks for posting, Barb. Made for Diabetes Awareness Tag.

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.

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.
