The spice mix itself is delicious, but smother it on little cubes of sweet potato and roast in a hot oven for 20 minutes and you have yourself something rather wonderful!ĭon’t worry about them getting a little dark – that is just the colour the spice mix goes when it’s roasted – your sweet potatoes won’t taste burnt, just a touch on the smoky side – as if they’ve been on the barbecue!Īnd speaking of barbecues…these would go brilliantly with all kinds of BBQ food…when I made these last week, I served them with Greek Style Lamb Kebabs and my Easy No Mayo Coleslaw – such a simple meal, but totally delicious.
ROASTED SWEET POTATOES PLUS
But I began to wonder if they would taste good with a fajita style Mexican spice mix…I pulled up my Homemade Chicken Fajitas recipe for inspiration, and adapted the marinade I had created for the chicken fajitas into a Mexican inspired spice mix to coat the sweet potato cubes…it’s a simple but tasty mix of paprika, cumin, chilli flakes, lime and garlic, plus some olive oil. In the past I have often made my roasted sweet potato cubes/wedges/fries with just a couple of spices – maybe some paprika or some cumin. That meal had a big impression on me and went on to inspire me to make these delicious Turkey, Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos (you can make them with chicken, if you prefer) and these gorgeous Lamb Tacos with Pomegranate, Avocado and Feta. The sweet potato cubes were one of my favourite parts of the meal. I was originally inspired to make my roasted sweet potatoes cube shaped on my trip to Wahaca back in October.
