Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes (peeled, and cut into 1 inch cubes or larger)
1/4 cup melted butter (or use oil)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2-1 teaspoon chili powder, to taste
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or to taste)
black pepper (to taste)
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to suit heat level)

Steps:

In a resealable plastic bag toss the cubed sweet potatoes with melted butter or oil; add the rest of ingredients; toss well to coat.
Transfer to a greased baking dish (large enough to hold the potatoes in one layer).
Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for about 22-25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender but not too soft (tossing with a wooden spoon or spatula about every 15-20 minutes, baking time will vary depending on the size you cut the potatoes).
*NOTE* careful not to over bake as the potatoes will become mushy.
Delicious!
