• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour the ginger-lime mixture over the sweet potatoes. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the sweet potato cubes are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized on the edges.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and added freshness.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your zesty, sweet, and aromatic Ginger Lime Sweet Potatoes!
