(Details in newsletter) Each bag is designed to replace 2 paper bags or up to 4 plastic bags each time it is used. A bag can be used weekly for two years or more to replace up to 416 plastic bags over its entire lifetime.
Swap sweet potatoes for white potatoes to boost nutrition and flavor. Sweet potatoes are a delicious winter comfort food. Choose medium sweet potatoes with firm, unblemished skins.
Cajun Sweet Potatoes
3 – 4 medium sweet potatoes
1 1/2 tsp Watkins Paprika
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Black Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Thyme
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Rosemary
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Garlic Powder
1/8 teaspoon Watkins Cayenne Pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a small bowl, stir together paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Cut the sweet potatoes into 1 inch cubes, wedges, or thick slices and put into a ziploc bag. Add olive oil and seasoning mix to the bag and shake to coat. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, or in a shallow pan.
Bake in preheated oven until tender, about 45 min. Makes 4 - 5 servings.
