Spicy Chipotle Roasted Potatoes Recipes

CRISPY CHIPOTLE ROASTED SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through. Drain potatoes and cool for 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Position oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange potatoes on baking sheet about 3-inch apart. Using a spatula, smash each potato to about 1/2-inch thickness. Press together if they fall apart. Combine oil and chipotles in an electric blender; puree for 1 minute or until smooth. Drizzle the oil mixture over the potatoes. Gently slide or lift potatoes to ensure oil gets underneath and potatoes are coated. Roast potatoes for 30 to 40 minutes or until deep brown and crisp. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

SPICY CHIPOTLE-CINNAMON ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
• Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes.
• Cut each sweet potato into bite-sized chunks (make each piece roughly about an inch).
• Add the sweet potato pieces, the extra virgin olive oil, cinnamon, and chipotle to a gallon-sized storage bag.
• Close the storage bag and shake, making sure all of the spices are evenly distributed on the pieces (otherwise you might find out what happens when too much chipotle sticks to an individual piece).
• Spread out the spiced sweet potato pieces in an even layer onto a baking sheet.
• Salt to taste.
• Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes, then using a spatula to turn them, place them back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes. If you like them crisper, you can add a few minutes, just make sure to check on them so they don't burn. Serve them as they are, or you can dip them in ketchup like french fries.

CHIPOTLE ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Add potatoes, mushrooms, onions and bell pepper strips to a gallon-size zip-lock bag, and set aside.
• Mix together olive oil, garlic, sea salt, pepper, basil, and ground chipotle chile. Pour over vegetables in the zip-lock bag. Seal bag and shake well to thoroughly coat all the vegetables. (Feel free to increase or decrease any of the seasonings to suit your individual taste buds.).
• Add coated vegetables to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Roast at 450° for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• Sprinkle Swiss cheese on top and return to oven for another 3-5 minutes, or just until cheese begins to melt. Serve while still hot.
