Roasted sweet potatoes (blob style)

  1. Microwave sweet potato cubes according to instructions on bag.
  2. In bowl, mix olive oil, cajun seasoning, old bay seasoning, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss sweet potato cubes to coat.
  3. Bake at 375 degrees for 14 minutes (this is based on me putting it in with tonight’s salmon; since it’s cooked already, it doesn’t necessarily need that long).

 

A simple and good side dish. I’ve tried this prep before with cubed potato hash, and it doesn’t really work (it’s too dry), but it’s great with sweet potatoes.

Future ideas:

  • Curry powder would be great (though I don’t think I have any at the moment, just Japanese curry blocks)
  • For a sweet prep, brown sugar + cinnamon is classic. (Buy brown sugar? Or substitute white? Or honey? Would need to lower the heat for honey so it doesn’t blacken.)
