Ingredients

2 lbs sweet potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tsp Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Dice sweet potatoes into ~1-inch cubes
Place diced sweet potatoes onto a sheet pan. Do not overcrowd or overlap. Use two or more sheet pans if needed.
Drizzle sweet potatoes with olive oil, brown sugar and Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning (see Note 1).
Using your hands or spatula, toss diced sweet potatoes until they are evenly coated, then spread them out onto the sheet pan. Do not overcrowd or overlap them.
Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and toss/stir sweet potatoes using a spatula. Spread them out again without overlapping or overcrowding. Then bake for another 5-10 minutes. Check at the 5 minute mark to make sure they are not burned. (See Note 2)
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Note 1 : Use more Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning if you like your sweet potatoes super spicy and less if you like it less spicy

Note 2: Oven temperature may vary, and you may need to cook the potatoes longer. Check frequently to make sure it is not burned since it is coated with brown sugar.
