Sweet and spicy roasted sweet potato
This Sweet and spicy roasted sweet potato is one of my favourite dishes because it can be served as aside dish, part of a roast dinner, or as a main dish, served with steamed rice or wrapped in flatbread. It fits in a laid-back family meal or in a special menu at Christmas and other festivities. If you use organic sweet potatoes you don’t peel them, so the preparation will be super easy.
