Date-Glazed Spicy Sweet Potatoes are sweet with a kick of spice and a pop of freshness. They are the perfect plant-based side dish!
Sweet potatoes are the best! They are so versatile. I have so many incredible recipes from fries to soup to brownies that use the amazing sweet potato.
This recipe makes sweet potatoes the star and enhances their sweet flavor with a date glaze. Add a pop of spice with cayenne and you've got that delicious sweet and spicy flavor profile. Finally, stir in some fresh cilantro for some color and brightness. So good!
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2. Chop the sweet potatoes into cubes, approximately 1/2-inch thick. Place in a large bowl.
Step 3. In a small bowl, mix the vegetable broth, date syrup, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Step 4. Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes and stir to coat.
Step 5. Arrange the sweet potatoes in one layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, stir, and then bake another 10-20 minutes, until the potatoes are starting to brown.
Step 6. Remove from the oven. Place the potatoes back in the large bowl and stir in the chopped cilantro. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper. Enjoy!
Thank you God for these delicious potatoes. We are grateful that you provide for us. Amen.
