Spicy Roasted Sweet Potatoes Recipe
Spicy roasted sweet potatoes deliver fiery flavor, crispy edges, and a hint of sweetness—like your personality on a good hair day.
They roast into golden, caramelized bites that make you wonder why you ever settled for plain, sad boiled vegetables.
The chili and paprika kick ensures your taste buds wake up faster than your overpriced oat latte ever could.
Serve them at brunch, dinner, or with wine—because carbs coated in spice always deserve a glass of wine.
