Roasted Sweet Potato Recipe

Ingredients:

3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1 inch chunks
2 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. chile powder, use cayanne if you like it hot
salt to taste
chopped cilantro

Glaze:
1/2 honey
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. chile powder


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 F.

2. In a bowl toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil. Using your fingers, sprinkle the chile powder over the potatoes. Stir and repeat the process. This will help spread the chile powder evenly over the potatoes.

3. Pour onto a baking sheet and spread them out. Use a rubber spatula to scrape out all the oil. The oil will help keep the potatoes from sticking. Salt to taste.

4. Bake for 20 minutes. Check the sweet potatoes after 10 minutes and turn them over.

6. If they start to stick, you can pour a drizzle of olive oil over them.

I love using the stoneware from Pampered Chef for this dish and any vegetable roasting recipe. Food usually doesn't stick and it's not made of teflon. Teflon and high temperatures are not a good idea.

This stoneware also does an excellent job of keeping your food warm after it's done cooking.


Making The Honey Lime Glaze

1. While you are roasting sweet potatoes, mix the glaze ingredients in a bowl with a whisk.

2. When the potaotes are done, brush on the glaze mixture and return to the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.

3. Place in a serving dish and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the roasted potatoes and serve.
