Spicy Sweet Potatoes

If you like your taste buds to get a mouth watering kiss of sweet and then a tiny zing of heat, you will love this recipe year-round.    


You can easily make this for a large group or just yourself.  Average 1/2 sweet potato per person as a guide.
        
Peel the potatoes, slice in 3/4 inch slices, then cube approximately 1" cubes.  Place in a bowl and
toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil per potato.  Place in single layer on cookie sheet and sprinkle with 
Mrs. Dash's Extra Spicy seasoning mix.  The amount of heat is regulated by you, but 1/8th  teaspoon sprinkled over one potato cubed is just right.           

Place in middle of the oven, bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, tossing/turning the potatoes a couple of times.  Some will caramelize on the edges during baking, don't let the dark color worry you they are yummy!
