Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pierce each sweet potato in several places with a fork. Place directly on the oven rack and roast until soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a cutting board; let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Slip off the skins and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch slices; transfer to a large bowl. Add butter. Smash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or fork until fluffy but some lumps remain. Add maple syrup, chili powder, ground cumin, ginger, salt and pepper; stir to combine.

Tip: Toast cumin seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Grind in a spice mill or blender into a fine powder.

Sweet and Spicy = Yum!

I love this recipe. My roommate and I have been putting chili powder, cinnamon, and butter on roasted corn for years. The two flavors blend beautifully.

Nobody in His Right Mind....

would think that adding chili powder to this otherwise good recipe woult make sense. And while you're at it, leave out the cumin and add a jigger of rum.
