Add subtle sweetness and a little spice to your next meal with these roasted sweet potatoes tossed in savory seasonings.
The last day of school has come and gone. Monday Blues are now a thing of the past. See ya! For the first time in months I was able to sleep in this morning and function without a cup of coffee. Now that’s a miracle my friends and calls for celebration. I could get used to this. Is it possible to apply for a summer extension? Ten weeks just doesn’t suffice and I’m sure every kid out there would agree. Most families thrive on structured schedules full of activities and planned play dates to pass the time, but we’re more than willing to stray from the rules for some rest and relaxation. After all, that’s what the mini break is all about – soakin’ up the sunshine with a stress-free attitude. It might as well be the motto of the season!
With the arrival of summertime comes frequent gatherings with friends and backyard BBQ parties by the pool. It’s the ideal opportunity to steal the show with side dishes no one expects to see at the table. Cue this scrumptious sweet potato dish that has your name all over it.
Sweet and Spicy Roasted Sweet Potatoes have become a favorite recipe in our home because they’re super tasty. Tossed in LouAna Coconut Oil and seasoned with spices, their natural sweetness shines through. Sweet potatoes are no longer just a cold weather comfort food.

Simple, delicious, and incredibly addicting – the amount of zest in this dish is UNREAL. For the past four years I’ve been reaching for coconut oil to bake, cook, and transform everyday meals into delicacies. It makes a huge difference in the overall flavor, regardless of what you’re preparing. With over 14 different types of cooking oil, LouAna has the perfect oil for all of your cooking needs whether it’s sautéing, deep-frying or baking. The coconut oil helps create a crisp coating on the outside while the centers remain tender. A little sweet. A little salty. Each bite practically melts in your mouth. I’m so addicted to these! Can you blame me? You have to give them a try.
For additional crunch, bake longer or set your oven to broil. Watch carefully because they will burn quickly if left for too long.
