Who doesn't love a perfect balance of sweet & spicy? These caramelized sweet potatoes have a delicious, saccharine coating that brings our the earthy & naturally-sweet flavor of the sweet potatoes. Paired with our Spicy Red Pepper Olive Oil, a slight kick at the end leaves a sensation similar to a decadent hot honey. Try as the perfect accompaniment to a protein-forward meal. It's even good enough to have as a healthy dessert alternative!

Ingredients

For the Potatoes

  • 3 Sweet Potatoes
  • 3 Tablespoons of Kosterina Spicy EVOO

    Carefully using a fork, poke each Sweet Potato 4-5 times. Microwave or Airfry the Sweet Potatoes for 2-3 minutes to soften. Once cool enough to handle, cut each Sweet Potato in half lengthwise.

    Bake Sweet Potatoes for about 40 minutes. While Sweet Potatoes are baking, mix together dip ingredients and set aside in the fridge until potatoes are ready and cooled.
