Ingredients

4

For the Sweet Potatoes

  • 4medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbspavocado oil
  • Salt, to taste

For the Topping

  • 4 tbspYo Amma Indian Chili Crisp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Rub lightly with avocado oil and season with a pinch of salt. Place directly on a baking sheet. Bake for 45–60 minutes, depending on size, until completely tender when pierced with a knife.

  2. 2

    Allow the sweet potatoes to cool for a few minutes. Slice each potato down the center and gently squeeze the ends to open them up. Fluff the interior with a fork.

  3. 3

    Generously spoon Yo Amma Indian Chili Crisp over the hot sweet potatoes, making sure to get both the flavorful oil and crunchy bits.

  4. 4

    Serve immediately while warm. The sweetness of the potato and the bold spice of the chili crisp create the perfect balance of flavors.

Pro Tips

  • For extra caramelization, leave the sweet potatoes in the oven for an additional 10 minutes after they become tender. The natural sugars will continue to develop, creating an even sweeter and richer flavor that pairs beautifully with the chili crisp. For a more substantial meal, top with shredded chicken, black beans, cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt.
  • Sweet potatoes and chili crisp are one of those pairings that just make sense. The natural sweetness balances the warmth of the Guntur chilies, while the crunchy peanuts, toasted coconut, and slow-cooked onions in Yo Amma Indian Chili Crisp add texture and depth to every bite.
