Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, honey, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the ginger-lime mixture over the sweet potatoes. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the sweet potato cubes are evenly coated.
Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized on the edges.
Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and added freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your zesty, sweet, and aromatic Ginger Lime Sweet Potatoes!
