Chili Lime Sweet Potatoes


CHILI LIME SWEET POTATOES

2 pounds sweet potatoes
olive oil spray
juice and grated zest of 1 lime
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (or up to 2 tablespoons if calories aren’t a concern)
½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
½ garlic clove, smashed into a paste

Preheat and oven to 400 degrees.

Peel the sweet potatoes and slice ½” thick. Spray a foil lined baking sheet with olive oil. Spread the sweet potato slices onto the baking sheet forming a single layer. Spray the slices with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 1 hour flipping them once after 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.

When the sweet potatoes are done baking arrange them on a serving platter and pour the vinaigrette over top. Delicious hot or cold. Enjoy!
