Baked or Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb sweet potatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 lime juice from 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sea Salt
  • Pepper freshly ground
  • Optional: add your favourite herbs and spices at the point when coating the sweet potatoes. I have added finely chopped parsley or rosemary or tarragon or thyme as well as a quick sprinkle of hot pepper flakes for a little zip!

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Peel potatoes and cut into medium sized wedges.
  • Soak in water in a bowl for about 10 minutes
  • In another bowl, mix all ingredients, making sure that the potatoes are covered with the oil. Place potatoes on a cookie sheet and bake for about 45 minutes (or until tender)
  • Alternatively, place potatoes on rack of BBQ ( I put them on foil on the rack)
  • Turn frequently.
  • Excellent addition to warm weather meals too!
