My family has been trying to find recipes we like using ingredients we don’t usually use. Sweet potatoes are a veggie I did not grow up eating, so I’ve been experimenting with using it. This recipe is delicious and has totally sold me on sweet potatoes! You can make it extra spicy or leave that out.
