Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Sriracha and Lime
These roasted sweet potatoes with Sriracha and lime are an easy side dish that requires only 10 minutes of effort. You're welcome.
Ingredients
- Juice and finely grated zest from 1 lime, preferably organic
- 2 to 4 tablespoons refined coconut oil, melted
- 1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons store-bought or homemade Sriracha, plus more if desired
- 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed but unpeeled (1 large or 2 smallish)
- Handful cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice (reserve the zest for later), coconut oil, salt, and Sriracha.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch (25-mm) slices, either circles or half circles. Dump them in the bowl and toss to coat with the lime Sriracha elixir.
- Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheets. Roast, stirring at least once or twice, until fork tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
☞ TESTER TIP: The sweet potatoes will be unevenly spotted with brown patches, sorta like a leopard, when done.
- Transfer to a platter. Taste and, if desired, add more salt and Sriracha. Sprinkle with the lime zest and cilantro and commence the devouring.
