Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Sriracha and Lime
If there’s a sweet potato fan club out there, we’d like to join. The tuber is versatile, healthy and as close as we’ll get to eating candy for dinner. This recipe for roasted sweet potatoes with sriracha and lime—from Amanda Frederickson’s cookbook Simple Beautiful Food—could work as a side dish, a base for meal prep or a light dinner (served with a yogurt sauce and roasted chickpeas, perhaps).
“The exact roasting time for the sweet potatoes will vary depending on their thickness,” Frederickson writes. And if the sriracha doesn’t seem hot enough, you can add more at the end. “But, be warned,” she says. “The sriracha heat builds over time.”
