Cinnamon and cayenne pepper seem unlikely companions, but work really well when working with sweet potatoes.
Sweet Potato Rounds are coated with an olive oil, cinnamon and cayenne pepper mixture and then grilled on a griddle or in a frying pan or on the barbecue.
I served them with sirloin steaks that had been cooked over charcoal….an amazing side dish that worked very well.
Enjoy!
