Cumin Lime Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 1 fresh lime

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 425ºF. Peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into sticks about 1/2 inch wide.
  2. Spread the sweet potatoes out on a large baking sheet and coat them with a drizzle of olive oil. Scatter the cumin and salt across the pan. Strip the cilantro leaves off their stems and give them a rough chop. Add about 3/4 of the cilantro to the sweet potatoes, holding back the rest for after they roast. Toss everything together until the pieces are coated with the oil, cumin, salt, and cilantro.
  3. Roast for 20 minutes, then stir the potatoes and put the pan back in the oven. Continue roasting for about 15 minutes, until the edges are browned and blistered.
  4. When the sweet potatoes come out of the oven, shower them with the reserved cilantro and squeeze the lime over the top. Serve warm.
