Baked Sweet Potatoes with Chipotle Butter

Baked Sweet Potatoes with Chipotle Butter

Ingredients:

  • 4 large sweet potatoes (sliced ½" thick)
  • 4 tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 tsp Chipotle powder. (If you want it to be spicier, add another tsp)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Salt to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Poke a few holes in the whole sweet potatoes, spread some olive oil on them, and season with some salt and pepper.
  2. Wrap the sweet potatoes in foil and bake them at 375°F for 35 minutes or until soft.
  3. Mix softened butter with chipotle powder and cinnamon.
  4. Serve warm sweet potatoes with a dollop of spiced butter on top.

Tip:

Open the sweet potatoes horizontally and sprinkle with a little bit of brown sugar or honey. I love the combination of sweet and spicy.
