Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Amazingly crisp-tender sweet potatoes roasted to perfection. Such a quick, easy, vegetarian side dish for any meal!

This has quickly become one of my most favorited side dishes this year. It doesn’t require too much work and it involves only a few pantry staples of spices, yet it packs so much flavor. It can also dress up any meal and more – I even throw them into burrito bowls or dice them up real small for veggie taco night.

The best part is that sprinkle of fresh cilantro (parsley is a great sub if you have a bad relationship with cilantro) and freshly squeezed lime juice right on top. That tart goodness combined with the savory-salty flavor just hits differently. Sometimes I’ll even eat them hot off the sheet pan without a main.
