Sweet and Spicy Potatoes Recipe

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

1. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 2–3 minutes.

3. Serve with lime wedges on the side to brighten the flavors.

Tips for Perfect Sweet and Spicy Potatoes

1. Choose the Right Potatoes: Opt for firm, fresh sweet potatoes with unblemished skin. Organic varieties work well for this recipe.
2. Adjust Spice Levels: Reduce cayenne or omit it entirely for a milder version. Alternatively, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
3. Air Fryer Option: For a faster cooking method, use an air fryer set to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
4. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispness.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair these potatoes with grilled meats or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
• Add them to salads for a hearty twist.
• Serve as an appetizer with a tangy dipping sauce like yogurt-based ranch or spicy aioli.
