Chef's Note

For a time-saving shortcut, you can microwave the sweet potatoes for 4-5 minutes before dicing and roasting - this cuts down on roasting time. The chipotle peppers provide the signature smoky flavor, but you can adjust the amount based on your heat preference. Leftover filling makes an excellent breakfast served with a fried egg on top!
