Chipotle Sweet Potatoes

Tonight was Chipotle Dinner night. Two awesome recipes, both from Taste of Home, with similar flavor profiles: a spicy and delicious dinner. Up first: Chipotle Sweet Potatoes.



These tasty tubers are roasted in balsamic vinaigrette and then dressed with an awesome mixture of honey, chipotle peppers, cilantro, and more vinaigrette. Hope you enjoy!

Chipotle Sweet Potatoes
From: Adapted from Taste of Home
Serves: 6-8

You'll need:
4 large sweet potatoes
2/3 c balsamic vinaigrette, divided
1/4 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1/4 c fresh minced cilantro
3 T honey
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced

Peel your sweet potatoes and cut them into about 1/2" cubes.



Toss your sweet potatoes with salt and pepper and 1/3 cup of the vinaigrette. Spread them into a single layer on a greased cookie sheet or two.



Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes until tender, stirring once. Cool slightly. Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining vinaigrette, cilantro, honey, and peppers.



Put your potatoes in a serving bowl, pour the dressing over top, and toss to coat.



Enjoy! I served ours with these chipotle cheeseburgers... fantastic combination!
