Sweet & Spicy Sweet Potatoes

Isn't it amazing how your energy level can drop in just 4 hours?  I was planning dinner during lunch and it included making these sweet potatoes and I was going to finally make Kentucky Hot Browns.  I thought it would be easy to whip up a Mornay sauce after work when my sweet potatoes were in the oven.  I ended up with turkey on toast.  But the sweet potatoes are a success.  You bite into them and get the hint of brown sugar and then the cayenne jumps on your taste buds.






Sweet & Spicy Sweet Potatoes

1 large sweet potato, pared and cut into wedges
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne 
1/4 tsp black pepper

Place sweet potato wedges in a medium sized bowl.  Pour olive oil over and toss.  Mix together spices and brown sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle over potatoes.  Place on a lightly greased pan (an Anolon crisper works great) and bake at 350° for 1 hour.  Turn wedges every 15 minutes for even cooking.
