I love to eat sweet potato no matter how it’s made boiled, in a sandwich, roasted with some spices, mashed or even as fries. I just love it in every form But when I tried this amazing Korean inspired chewy sweet potato snack, it turned out really well.

One thing I noticed though black sesame seeds have a slightly bitter taste and the flavor didn’t feel fully balanced. So I tried the same recipe again but this time i used black onion seeds instead and the taste was amazing. I really liked that version But that doesn’t mean you have to do the same feel free to experiment with spices and seeds based on your taste. Try new things in the kitchen the results are often delicious (not always, but most of the time). Happy Cooking!!
