Something Square: Gingered Sweet Potato Cubes

Chase and I were at the grocery store shopping for Thanksgiving dinner when we bought a beautiful sweet potato on a whim. We had no need for another dish at Thanksgiving, but that was no reason to pass up a good potato.

A week later I did this to the potato. (And a week later I wrote about it.) It was delicious.

Happy cooking!

rections

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Peel the sweet potato. Make sure to peel off the palest part of the potato, just inside the skin. It stays tough if cooked.

3. Chop the potato into half inch cubes.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, ginger, pepper, salt and cinnamon.

5. Toss the sweet potatoes in the mixture to coat.

6. Spread the potatoes on an ungreased cookie sheet in a single layer.

7. Cook for about 15 minutes until fork-soft. Enjoy.

Pretty chopped potato.

Good flavors together.

Happy cooking!
