The only negative? It's so good, it often upstages other things it's served with. So here, I coupled it with a veggie burger on whole wheat. In the photo all the way at the end of this entry, I served it with a cucumber salad and some szechuan tofu. I think it'd be nice with a rotisserie chicken, as well.
Lime Cilantro Sweet Potatoes
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 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
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 and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Whisk together lime juice and remaining tablespoon oil in a medium bowl.
Add potatoes. Sprinkle with cayenne mixture and cilantro, and stir gently to combine.
