Rosemary Creole Baked Sweet Potato Recipe

This recipe, more like baked sweet potato fries than your traditional sweet potato casserole, is spicy, flavorful, and seriously easy. It goes just as well with barbecue or burgers as it does with your traditional holiday turkey. I use plenty of this wonderful creole seasoning, pop 'em in the oven, and then focus on the rest of my dishes.

Serves about 8.

Ingredients:
3 lg. sweet potatoes, peeled, cubed into 1" cubes (6 cups or so)
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp. creole or cajun seasoning
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. dried rosemary

Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Place potato cubes in a large resealable bag. Pour oil over and toss to coat.

3. Add seasoning, sugar, and rosemary. Toss to coat.

4. Dump potatoes into a large greased baking dish (glass works best).

5. Bake 45-50 minutes, until nicely tender. Stir occasionally.

Note: Like most sweet potatoes recipes, this one is very forgiving. Sometimes I cook it longer to allow the potatoes to crisp up even more. The longer they cook, the crisper the potatoes get on the outside, and the creamier on the inside. So good!
