I love delicious accidents. Even more so when they are delicious blog-worthy accidents. (It’s like hitting the easy content jackpot, yay!) Who doesn’t want more some extra sweet potato inspo in their lives, anyway?

I had been Googling foods to snack on pre-run and sweet potatoes came up. So, in an effort to spruce things up, I made these bad boys for lunch one afternoon and was over the moon with how they turned out. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some deep’n richly flavored brown sugar and/or curried sweet potatoes, but these possess a balance of sweet and heat that tickles the tastebuds; hitting’em with a splash of bright lime juice doesn’t hurt, either.
