Spicy and Tangy Sweet Potatoes

Makes 6 to 8 cups.

Note: Roast an extra pan or two to toss into a salad or onto a pizza or add to a vegetable curry or stew. Coconut oil adds a nice nutty flavor to the potatoes. From Beth Dooley.

• 2 lb. sweet potatoes, cut into 1-in. chunks

• 4 to 5 green onions, cut into 1-in. pieces

• 2 tbsp. melted coconut or vegetable oil

• 1 tsp. coarse salt

• 1 tsp. chili powder

• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin

• 2 to 3 tbsp. chopped cilantro

• 2 limes, cut into wedges

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss the sweet potatoes and green onions with the oil, salt, chili powder and cumin.

Spread the sweet potatoes onto a large baking sheet. Roast until tender and golden, about 30 to 40 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice through. Serve garnished with the cilantro and the lime wedges.
