Crash Hot Sweet Potatoes





Note: I used regular chili powder, rather than New Mexico chili powder (whatever that is). And I didn't put in any chipotle chili powder because I don't have any.


2 Medium Sweet Potatoes
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil

Topping:
1 & 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon New Mexico chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic
10 grinds black pepper – coarse

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice about 1 and ¼ inches thick. Place potatoes on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove pan and flip potatoes over and bake for another 15 minutes. While they are baking, melt the butter and combine with oil in a small bowl. In another bowl, combine all of the spices. Blend the spices together really well with a fork, making to sure to get the sugar completely incorporated. Take pan out of oven and smash potatoes with a fork or  bottom of a glass. Brush them with the oil and butter mixture and top with the seasonings. Flip them over and do the same to the other sides. Bake in oven for 10 minutes. Remove pan and flip potatoes, bake for another 10 minutes. I usually flip mine again and bake for another 10 minutes.

Serve hot and try not to die from them being SO GOOD.
