Reviews
I’ve loved making this recipe so much that I use it as a starting point for a skillet meal. I roast sweet potatoes and onions with the chipotle and oregano, along with some fresh roasted corn. I add it to a skillet of Mexican chorizo and brown everything nice and golden. Add a little cheese if you want. Don’t get me wrong. Make the recipe first and enjoy it. Then experiment!
I have made this dish many times. I prefer using yams vs. sweet potatoes. Also, we dislike chipotle, so we leave it out. I double the oil, oregano, garlic, and cream. I bake covered 45 minutes, uncovered 30. This is on every holiday table. We love this dish, and it’s not difficult to make.
I wanted to try something different one thanksgiving about three years ago, found this recipe and now it’s requested every family get together. So good!
It’s a shame there aren’t more reviews of this recipe. I always go to this recipe because I love to cook sweet potatoes without marshmallows and brown sugar! I rarely make a recipe exactly, but this is one of those exceptions. It’s so easy and never disappoints!
A favorite for Thanksgiving!
This was a huge hit at Thanksgiving. We are not fans of the typical super-sweet potato casserole that usually comes with the holiday, so this was a great substitution. I added chopped pecans on top before baking, and they came out perfectly toasted.
This is my go to recipe for sweet potatoes on the savory side. Never disappoints!
Love this recipe…. you can adjust the heat with chipotle or regular chili powder. Excellent paired with roasted pork loin.
wow, delicious!! I didn’t have chipotle powder so instead chopped up a chipotle in adobo sauce along with about a teaspoon of the sauce. sooooo good!
I didn’t think that this would be good but to my surprise, it was pretty good.
