How to Make Cajun Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the spices: 1 tablespoon paprika, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with olive oil spray.
- Wash and peel 2 pounds of sweet potatoes. Slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the sweet potato slices with olive oil spray.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes, ensuring each slice is coated.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
