Oven-baked Cajun sweet potatoes. Cajun-style sweet potatoes made in the oven topped with thyme and spices. A healthy, easy side dish for any occasion.
What are the benefits of Cajun potatoes?
Sometimes you have to get a little creative when it comes to cooking. If you’re in the mood for a switch-up from your traditional sweet potato casserole, consider oven-baking them with a sprinkling of Cajun seasoning.
Baked Cajun sweet potatoes are healthier than fried or boiled because they contain less oil and sugar. They also have a nice texture. The skin is soft and moist with a crispy outside layer. It has a unique flavor that is not too spicy or too bland, making them the perfect side dish for every occasion!
Can you use Cajun seasoning with other vegetables?

Are Cajun Potatoes Vegetarian-Friendly?
