teriyaki-glazed sweet potatoes

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes (cut into small wedges or cubes (skin on is OK))
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce ((homemade or store-bought - see notes for suggestions))
2 tsp sriracha or other chili sauce ((optional))
sliced green onions (for serving (I like both the white and green parts))

Steps

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a glass baking dish lightly with oil.
Toss the sweet potatoes with about 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, or enough to coat them fairly generously. If using, also add the sriracha. Transfer them to the baking dish.
Bake until the sweet potatoes are tender but not overdone, about 40 minutes. Stir them a couple of times during baking.
Top with green onions and serve hot.

I really loved this recipe it was simple yet amazing. I paired mine with organic tri colored quinoa and I added a little extra sweet chili sauce and it was fantastic! It heated up well the next day which is always a plus. I saw someone who recommended mixing pineapple I think I will try that next time I bet that would taste great! Thanks for the recipe!
