#1,167: Crispy Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Lime and Cilantro


This may not be the best sweet potato recipe I've ever had, but it sure was darn good!  I loved these sweet potatoes and have made them several times now.  I almost always have all of the ingredients on hand.  This makes a great side dish or main meal (especially for breakfast or lunch!).  Super easy, really yummy!  The recipe below serves 8...I say it serves 4!

4 sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds), cut into thin wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon lime zest, plus 2 tablespoons lime juice
kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
 
Heat oven to 425° F. Toss the potatoes, oil, lime zest, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Roast, tossing once, until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Drizzle with the lime juice and sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve warm.
