Cinnamon Chile Sweet Potato Fries

Posted on April 19, 2013 | Leave a comment

Cinnamon Chile Rub and sweet potatoes make for a fantastic combination.  The seasoning caramelizes onto the crispy fries giving them an addictive smoky sweet flavor.

For this recipe you will need:

Preheat oven to 400°

Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into long thin strips. Place all ingredients in a large zip top bag and toss until the potatoes are completely coated.

Place potatoes on a baking sheet, trying not to overlap.

Bake fries for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Salt to taste.

Best,

Victoria

Cinnamon Chile Pistachos

Posted on December 13, 2012 | Leave a comment

Pistachios are perfectly delicious on their own so it may seem pointless to roast them with some extra seasoning, but trust me it will be worth it.

For this recipe you will need:

Preheat oven to 250F.

Mix together butter and Cinnamon Chile Seasoning. Stir in pistachios to coat evenly then add the sugar and mix. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the nuts over the parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack for about 30 minutes, or until the spice mixture has dried on the nuts. Let the nuts cool before eating them.

Check out my posts for Curried Cashews, Sugar and Spice Mixed Nuts and Honey Roasted Almonds with Smoky Paprika Chipotle  for more great spiced nut ideas.

Jamaican Coleslaw with Victoria Taylor’s Cinnamon Chile Rub

Posted on February 16, 2012 | Leave a comment

This is such a fun recipe and a little unexpected.  The slaw really shows off the sweet/spicy balance of this blend. Next time you make coleslaw, try this version.  I think you are going to love it.

For this recipe you will need:

  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • ¼ cup shredded carrot
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. Victoria Taylor’s Cinnamon Chile Rub

Combine the cabbage, carrots, and nuts in a large bowl and set aside.

In a small bowl mix together the mayonnaise, sugar, cider vinegar and Cinnamon Chile Rub.

Spoon the wet mixture over the cabbage mixture and toss well.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Best,

Cinnamon Chile Pork Chops with Potato Chip Crust

Posted on January 19, 2012 | Leave a comment

For this recipe you will need:

Preheat oven to 425°

Roll each pork chop in Cinnamon Chile Rub until completely covered. 

Place potato chips in a plastic zip lock bag and crush using a rolling pin.  Do not completely pulverize the chips; you will want them to keep a little bit of their shape. 

In a bowl that is large enough to fit the pork chops mix the egg and milk.   Dredge the chops in the egg mixture.

Pour the crushed chips onto a plate and coat each side of the chops with the chips. 

Place pork chop on a baking pan covered with aluminum foil and bake for 20-30 minutes depending on chop size until just cooked through and potato chip coating is brown and crispy.

I served my pork chops with steamed zucchini but any vegetable would work well.

Best,

            Victoria
