Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potatoes

By

Have you ever had chipolte chiles in adobo sauce?  I had never experienced their spicy, smoky goodness before.  After trying them this weekend in these sweet potatoes, I can’t wait to add them to an omlet!  I have no idea why eggs came to mind when I tried these chiles but they did and it’s now on my menu for dinner tonight!

I love my sweet potatoes to be savory.  In this dish the sweet and spicy flavors mingle beautiful together.  I love how the small brown sugar adds just the right amount of rich sweetness that blends perfectly with the smoky flavors of the chilies and cumin.

After a fun, busy weekend with my family these were a comforting way to end the weekend.  A perfect Sunday night addition.

Hopefully, you all are having a lovely long weekend.  If you aren’t fortunate to have an extra day off this weekend treat yourself to a fun treat before you have to get back to the grind.
