  1. I made this little number to accompany some broiled lemon pepper salmon for a quick weeknight dinner, and was pleasantly surprised how yummy it was. I am trying to encorporate more vegies into my diet and this is fast and easy enough to keep in my collection of sides for good. I used a couple tablespoons of a homemade cajun seasoning mix I had on hand and just added some brown sugar and a little extra salt to the blend before coating the potatoes first with oil and then in the seasonings. I was a bit disappointed the potatoes were softer than I expected, but the flavor more than made up for that. Very nice.
     
  2. I made this dish last night with some Cajun Chicken, and I didn't like the spice combination in this recipe at all. Too many different flavors going on for such a delicate vegetable. I won't be making this again, sorry!
     
  3. I love sweet potatoes, and I've found my new favorite way to prepare them! I made this for PAC to serve with Golden Praline Ham. The flavors combined beautifully with just the right amount of heat from the cayenne. Very delicious!
     
  4. These were so good! I left out the rosemary because I didn't have any, but I kept everything else the same. When they first came out of the oven, I wasn't impressed, but after they cooled, the flavor really came through. These are definitely my new favorite way to cook sweet potatoes!
