Looking for a great Thanksgiving side dish? Look no further ~ these Cinnamon Chipotle Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes will change your life. Forever & ever.
You can serve these sweet potatoes for brunch, as an any day side dish/main course and of course on Turkey Day! This recipe is inspired by the awesome new cookbook, The New Southwest by Megan Micozzi (Scarletta Bakes)
There are so many recipes I am intrigued by in this book. I have always loved the flavors of the American Southwest & Megan has profound knowledge & innovative take on this cuisine.
She offers us a funky modern twist on this classic cooking style.
This book has an abundance of sweet & savory recipes to choose from.
I took the liberty to use some of the ingredients I had in my house. Instead of walnuts I used toasted pecans. I swapped out brown sugar for pure maple syrup. I didn’t have ancho chile. I added a little bit of greek yogurt to the potato mash. I also added my true love, ground cinnamon.
And I topped these pretties with extra nuts, raisins & bacon.
And bourbon maple syrup.
I think Megan would be OK with all of that!
Yours truly has a blurb on the back of this book. I was truly honored to be asked by Megan to do this. She is an awesome gal ~ we spent time together last year for reals at the Idaho Potato Harvest Tour. She is a blast and we loved that trip!
Some more recipes I can’t wait to try from her cookbook:
- Caramel-Soaked Mexican Chocolate Pancakes
- Feast Day Cookies
- Hatch Chili Cheese Burgers
- Pinyon Butter Oatmeal
- Pomegranate & Lime Chicken Thighs
- Sweet Glazed Avocado Doughnuts
- Roasted Garlic Guacamole, and
- many, many more!

Cumin is my favorite spice.

My favorite Southwest spice is cumin. We use it a lot and got my parents hooked on it, too. I also really like green chiles.
I love green chili! Anything with chili is amazing but specifically green chili!
These look amazing, Marla…what a perfect combination of flavors! Sharing on my FiveHeartHome FB wall…thanks for such a great Thanksgiving recipe!
I love adding chipotle to sweet potatoes, these look killer!
I made this recipe for my family tonight. Even my six year old loved it (minus the chipotle for her). Such a great way to flavor up a sweet potato. LOVE IT!
I like adding cayenne to everything!
You can never go wrong with cumin!
I love shrimp fajitas. I really like so much Southwestern it is hard to say, but I think that’s my favorite. I like a combination of chili powder with cumin as a favorite spice. (I can’t decide which, both are about equally important to me.)
I seriously love twice baked potatoes, I am dying to make this recipe and give these a taste. yum!!
