I love to accentuate the flavor profile of Local Roots sweet potatoes with warm spices. A touch of cayenne pepper gives this dessert even more heat. In this easy recipe, forgo the hassle of pie crusts and make these candied sweet potatoes with toasted meringue. All you need to accomplish a beautifully browned meringue is your oven! No kitchen blowtorch is required.
