This Mexican sweet potato dish gets its sweet spicy kick from the combination of two ingredients commonly used in Mexican cooking - arbol chilies (hot Mexican peppers) and panela (a raw form of cane sugar). The sweetness of the sweet potatoes pairs well with the sweet-hot glaze featuring the rich molasses flavour of the panela.
