  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Creating this incredible dish is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Prepare the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
  4. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture generously over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.
