Chili Lime Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Servings: 4 -6

Ingredients

  • zest and juice of one lime
  • 3 Tbsps unrefined coconut oil or avocado oil (melted if using coconut)
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp chili flakes or more if desired
  • 1-1/2 lbs. sweet potatoes or yams
  • coarsely chopped fresh cilantro for serving

Optional: crumbled cotija cheese & fresh lime wedges to garnish

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, and crumbled cotija cheese if desired. Serve while warm and enjoy!
