cube up sweetpotatoes, toss em in EVOO, sprinkle em good with dizzy pig pineapple head rub. . .layer em on pan. ...roast em indirect at 425 for about 35 - 40 minutes (or until fork tender).. .you may have to toss em around once. ...

thats it .. . easy peasy. . .they taste fantastic!!!!!

add some cubed up apples to them, also sprinkled with the PH rub. .. even better!!! . ..one of our favorite veggie dishes now. ...

    Max, sounds really tasty, but not having any dizzy pig pineapple head rub to hand, do you think tossing the cubes in pineapple juice and EVOO would work?
  • no, would not be the same....idea is to season the taters....toss evoo. . . got any raging river? . .that's also a good one. . . if not, simply go with some cinammon and sugar and some allspice and maybe a little cayanne pepper for a little heat. ..

    you can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it
  • man, you GOT to get some PH rub. ..its one of my new faves!!! ...i put it on fruit, it is unbelievable on the sweetpotatoes and apples. ..and i absolutely love it on turkey thighs and wings!!!. ..oh, and sprinkle of it on vanilla ice cream is to die for (the spawn taught me that one)!!!!

    oh yea, you can still eat your sweet tater fries with ketchup i guess. . . LOL

    That does sound mighty tastie Max.

    And I was just thinking I need to try something with Pianapple head rub!!

    Thanks
  • Been doing the same Max but in slabs. Haven't added apples yet - sounds like a good addition. Might through a few raisins in with the apples as well.

    Cubing and making the sweet taters and apples the same size seems like a better plan - thanks.
  • yeah frank. .. good stuff!! ...make the apple cubes about 25% bigger than the sweet tater cubes though as they cook faster. ..i swear.. .these are the best damn sweet taters EVER...i used to eat sweet taters once a year at thanksgiving.. .now we are eating them almost as often as regular spuds. .. .thanks to chris!!!
  • go for it damon!! . .that and roasted turkey wingets dusted with PH. . .yummy!!!
