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
- Heat the oven to 425ºF. Peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into sticks about 1/2 inch wide.
- 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.
- 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.
- When the sweet potatoes come out of the oven, shower them with the reserved cilantro and squeeze the lime over the top. Serve warm.
