Roasted Sweet Potatoes

In my opinion this Chipotle Seasoning is the best spice around. I am obsessed, it tastes so good with so many different things; veggies, rice, pototoes, eggs. Mmmmm. I especially love it with sweet potatoes/yams, whatever it is? This meal is especially cheap during the fall/early winter months.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes
3 sweet potatoes
1-3 Tbs. Canola Harvest Margarine (may favorite), but it's also great with canola or olive oil
Nice sprinkling of chipotle seasoning (less if you can't handle too hot)
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes. Put in pan with water and simmer for about 25 minutes. Drain well. Put in baking pan and pour melted canola or oil over potatoes and toss. Sprinkle with seasoning. Then roast in a 425 degree oven for 25 minutes.
Serve with Sweet Pepper Rice (recipe above) and Steamed Broccoli seasoning with, what? Chipotle Seasoing!
Another version is to combine some oil, chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (careful, these are dang hot), salt and pepper, and a little lime juice. Pour that over the potatoes and roast for the same amount of time. Justin loves this version, but the last couple times I haven't had the chipotle peppers and before that I added too much, so it was way too hot for me and the boys. So be careful, but give it a try!
