Notes
Useful tips:
- Using a mortar to grind the peppercorns and the cumin will add to the flavor. We recommend that instead of buying ground ingredients.
- Instead of adding salt, you can replace it with cayenne pepper. It will be spicier and tastier for anyone who likes hot food.
- If you want this recipe to be healthier still, you can use cooking spray all over the sweet potatoes in the baking tray instead of olive oil
- This is a healthy version of the recipe, but to get naughty, you can fry the sweet potatoes instead of baking and use mayonnaise and butter instead of Greek yogurt.
