COCONUT CARDAMOM SWEET POTATOES



Coconut Cardamom Sweet Potatoes image

My husband likes this, and he normally does not like sweet potatoes, specifically the sweet Thanksgiving ones. This really does not have to be baked. It did taste much better after chilling and then reheating than it did initially. Recommend allowing time to meld the flavors.
