The main thing is that you cut them evenly so they all cook at the same rate.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>Do I have to peel the potatoes? <\/strong>Nope! I just leave the skins on. They end up so thin you barely notice them. Although I do actually enjoy sweet potato skins. They crisp up really nicely! Having said that you can peel them if you\u2019d prefer.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>a) Pan\/Baking Dish<\/strong> &#8211; If you don&#8217;t have a 26cm\/10&#8243; pan, you could make in a similar-sized baking dish. You might just have to put the slices in rows instead of a spiral\/circle. Or use a cast-iron skillet.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>b) Sweet Potatoes<\/strong> &#8211; Try and find ones that are evenly sized and tubular-shaped. My slices ended up around 2&#8243; wide. After you slice off the ends you should be left with around 950g\/2lb, which should fill up the pan perfectly.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>c) Seasoning<\/strong> &#8211; Different brands of Cajun seasoning will be slightly spicier than others. I used a Sainsbury&#8217;s own brand one and found it gave a good kick of spice, but nothing too crazy. For a home-made Cajun Seasoning, see <a href=\"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/home-made-cajun-seasoning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>d) Parmesan<\/strong> &#8211; I typically buy the &#8216;dusty&#8217; pre-packaged stuff from the fridge section (don&#8217;t use the non-fresh stuff). If you&#8217;ve just got a block of parmesan, use the most coarse side of the box grater to replicate the dusty texture. This will ensure it gets well distributed through the slices.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>e) Butter<\/strong> &#8211; You can melt this in short intervals in the microwave or in a pot on the stove.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Cajun Butter Sweet Potato Bake\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZxfWLAbhpnM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7296,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2019,618,1909,2506,2505,140,696,1712],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-appetizer","category-baked","category-cajun-or-creole","category-dinner","category-lunch","category-side","category-snack","category-vegetarian"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/cajun-butter-sweet-potato-spiral.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7292"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7301,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7292\/revisions\/7301"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
