Ingredients:
- two medium sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1 & 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic
- Plenty of melted butter
- Plenty of olive oil
Method:
- Preheat oven to 375
- Peel two medium sweet potatoes and slice – these are about an inch and a half thick.
- Blend brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, chipotle powder, about ten coarse grinds of black pepper, and garlic. Mix together really well with a fork, making to sure to get the sugar completely incorporated.
- Drizzle each of them with a mixture of two tablespoons melted butter and two tablespoons olive oil and then sprinkle each one with the spice mixture, pressing it lightly on the surface. Carefully turn them over and coat the other side with the butter/oil and the spices.
- Roast them in the oven for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Being careful not to squash them too much, flatten each sweet potato disk slightly.
- Turn them over and roast them another 10 minutes, till they have a nice crust on both sides from the caramelization of the sugar and spices.
