Cajun Roasted Sweet Potato and Corn Bake

It's fall, y'all! Fall means a few things to me.

  1. Summer is over. Which makes me sad.
  2. It's socially acceptable to pop Halloween into the DVD player and cozy up with a bowl of popcorn.
  3. Red wine instead of white. Or maybe rosé for a couple of weeks?
  4. Sweet potatoes. ALL. OF. THE. SWEET. POTATOES.

To be fair, sweet potatoes are kind of a year round thing for me. But when fall rolls around, I think my diet transitions from 25% sweet potatoes to 75% sweet potatoes.

I can find an excuse to eat them for breakfast. I can roast a big sheet pan for dinner and snack on the cold leftovers for lunch. (Don't judge me.) I can blend them into a soup or make a spicy casserole with them. There is no limit to my love for sweet potatoes.

Which brings me to my next point. Sweet corn. When we moved to Colorado, I thought I was giving up the summertime magic that is homegrown sweet corn. Wrong. When Indiana says "there's more than corn in Indiana," I now reply, "there's more to sweet corn than Indiana." Because Colorado grows better sweet corn. For the first 25 years of my life, I didn't know that was possible, but it is a fact.

I know it's fall, but I'm not ready to say goodbye to sweet corn just yet. So we're going to combine two of my favorites and meet in a happy place. On a sheet pan where sweet potatoes and corn can be united in all of their glory. The seasoning situation is the BOMB – it's a spicy, smoky cajun blend made with things (that I bet) you already have on hand.

Turn on the oven, prep the potatoes and corn, bake and enjoy these cajun roasted sweet potato! Might I suggest serving over a bed of quinoa? 👍👍👍
