- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees f.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk lime zest, juice, oil, sea salt and chili flakes.
- Rinse and scrub your sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat the excess moisture with a paper towel.
- Carefully cut your potatoes into large pieces using a very sharp knife.
- Add your potato pieces onto the bowl of prepared lime dressing, tossing until very well coated.
- Now spread the potatoes onto your prepared baking sheet in a single layer, with space in between, and bake for 30 minutes flipping halfway through until fork tender and nicely browned.

- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, and crumbled cotija cheese if desired. Serve while warm and enjoy!
