Amazingly crispy-tender sweet potatoes, roasted to perfection. Such a quick, easy, veggie side dish for any meal!
This has quickly become one of my favorite side dishes this year. It doesn’t require too much work and only requires a few pantry spices, but it has so much flavor. It can also enhance any meal and more — I even toss them in burrito bowls or dice them up small for veggie taco night.
Best of all, fresh cilantro (parsley is a great alternative if you have a bad relationship with cilantro) and freshly squeezed lime juice are sprinkled right on top. That tart goodness combined with the hearty-salty flavor just hits it differently. Sometimes I even eat them hot off the tin without a main course.
