Roated or Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Cilantro and Lime

Roasted or Grilled Sweet Potatoes
Tender and tasty, these potato rounds work beautifully as a side dish or even as a light appetizer.  We've brought an indoor roasted version, but Lea Ann's grilled version will be one you want to remember for warmer seasons!
Adapted from Bobby Flay and Cooking on the Ranch


3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/8 to 1/4-inch rounds
1 tsp finely grated lime zest
2-4 Tbs oil (we used avocado oil)
pinch ground cayenne pepper
coarse salt (we used pink Himalayan)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 400º.

In a medium bowl combine the lime zest, oil,  and cayenne.  Give it a good whisk to combine.  Drop the slice sweet potato rounds into the oil and toss to coat.  Arrange rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat, do not overlap potatoes.

Place the baking sheet (or two) into the oven and roast the potatoes for about 15 minutes.  At 15 minutes remove the pan from the oven and flip each round.  Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, the garnish with chopped cilantro.  Arrange on a serving plate and serve.
