- 2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lime zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
Toss sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking pan. Arrange potatoes in 1 layer and roast, stirring halfway through roasting, until tender, about 25 minutes total. Stir together cayenne, zest, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Whisk together lime juice and remaining tablespoon oil in a medium bowl, then add potatoes. Sprinkle with cayenne mixture and cilantro, stirring gently to combine.
You can make this without the cilantro too..very good! (For Mother!)
