Cajun Baked Sweet Potato
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high heat setting of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Take a small container and combine paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a single mixture.
3
Cut the sweet potatoes into halves lengthwise, making sure to cut straight through the middle of each one.
4
Using a brush, apply a thin layer of olive oil to each sweet potato half, ensuring they are evenly coated.
5
Using your hands or a spoon, sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the cut surface of each sweet potato half.
6
Place the sweet potatoes on a flat baking sheet or shallow pan, making sure they are not overlapping.
7
Put the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven and bake until tender, which should take approximately 1 hour.
