Monday Munchies: Citrus Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Everyone loves sweet potatoes. Here is quick recipe to add a little zing to your roasted beauties. Serve this with a superfood kale salad.

You will need:

1 large sweet potato, peeled (or two smaller potatoes)

2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash Caribbean Citrus Blend (or use individual spices such as sweet chili pepper, thyme, black pepper, allspice, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, ginger, cinnamon)

2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, drizzled

1 to 2 tablespoons coconut oil, drizzled (tiny chunks sprinkled on top if it’s solid), optional

Salt and fresh squeezed lemon, to taste

Preheat oven to 375F and prepare a baking sheet with a Silpat liner, foil, parchment paper, or spray well with cooking spray. Peel the sweet potato and slice it into sticks or chunks. Place potatoes on baking sheet, sprinkle seasonings, salt and pepper, and drizzle the oil. Toss potatoes with your hands to coat evenly. Bake potatoes for 30 minutes, then flip them. Bake for another 10 to 20 minutes, and use your judgment based on browning levels, the size of your potatoes, and personal taste preferences. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
