Sweet Potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes at Thanksgiving.

YUM!! I love both chipotle and sweet potato. So making this. Thanks for the post!
I made this a couple of nights ago, only I roasted my potatoes. So good. Eating leftovers now and I thought to squeeze a little lime juice over. Yum. Then I thought maybe just a sprinkling of brown sugar mixed in. Freakin' good! Thanks! I'll be repeating this often.
Love 🙂 Chipotle makes just about everything better!
I love sweet potatoes and these look wonderful!!!
Mmmm, I love sweet potatoes and flavoring them with chipotle is such an awesome idea. I really can't wait to try that flavor combo 😀
I absolutely adore the sweet and spicy of chipotle and sweet potatoes. I make a twice-baked version that is a hit every year.
