This is a good way to fix sweet potatoes. The recipe is also good without the brown sugar.

Cajun Baked Sweet Potato

1 tablespoon paprika

2 teaspoon brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon rosemary

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 large sweet potato

1 tablespoon olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, thyme,

rosemary, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise; rub the

halves with olive oil, and then spread the seasoning mix over the open half of each potato. (I use a

butter knife.)

Bake for 45minutes or until the sweet potato is tender.

[Note: Simply multiply the recipe for more than one potato.]

Supposedly my wife makes a great sweet potato dish, but unfortunately N can't eat them. Don't know why but I never aquired a taste for them..

Same here with the sweet potatoes but my wife likes them.
She is not much on spices tho.

BTW that spice mix is basically Emeril's Essence.with a shot of sugar.
I do end up making my own tho without the cayenne so my wife will eat
it.

I use that as a rub on a Boston butt (pork roast)
Put it in an open oven pan and cook it for a couple hours at 325 until
it gets a nice bark on it, then pour several ounces of bourbon and a
squirt of water in the pan, cover it with heavy duty foil and cook it
at 275 for another couple hours or more.

You end up with a spicy pork roast that you can "fork pull" for great
BBQ. The bourbon adds flavor and the alcohol tends to break down the
meat a bit so it pulls better. BBQ sauce is optional at that point

The same trick works for ribs but you only have to cook them a couple
hours. I usually throw them on the grill with wood chips for a few
minutes after braising them to get some smoke on them and sear the
meat a bit. The bones will just fall out.

Well??? Where's that recipe for your own? I need a good recipe.

I have put the cayenne in, but wife wouldn't eat it. She scraped it off. Now the cayenne stays in
the drawer.
