A Little Tip:

Choose clean, firm sweet potatoes so they cook evenly and become tender without turning mushy. Let the sauce reduce until it clings to the sweet potatoes, but don’t let it become too dry.

Enjoy this sweet and spicy snack while it’s fresh!

Happy cooking, and see you in the next recipe!
