Is there anything better than the onslaught of sweet potato, pumpkin and apple themed recipes that appear once the calender hits October!?!? Pumpkin is always the front runner of fall ingredients for me, but when I saw this recipe for Sweet Potato skewers with a jalapeno cilantro aioli, I knew I had to try it. This is a great and simple recipe that is sure to impress. You simply peel and cube the sweet potato, then while it is baking you whip up a simple aioli that includes fresh cilantro and spicy jalapeno. The mixture of the aioli and the sweet potato is out of control. These are two flavors I would never put together and yet, they work so incredibly well. Putting these on a skewer is a great visual presentation, but if I ever made these again I would serve them as individual sweet potato bites on smaller bamboo skewers or appetizer picks. I always find that dishes are easier for guests to eat if they are a one dip and one bite type of thing. You can see the original recipe I followed here:
These look yummy and a great app for a holiday party!
