Spicy Jerk Sweet Potatoes
This roasted spicy jerk sweet potatoes recipe is an addictive sweet and spicy vegetarian side dish that’s great any time of the year.
We love sweet all types of sweet potatoes but I thought they would be really tasty roasted with some of the Jamaican jerk seasoning I just made. The potatoes turned out crispy on the edges, creamy inside, and addictively sweet & spicy! These spicy jerk sweet potatoes make an excellent side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Very clever. I would have never thought to put jerk seasoning on sweet potatoes.
Pam, your sweet potatoes sound good. I make a spiced one but I really like the idea of a jerk one. Thanks.
