Sweet Potatoes With Star Anise Ginger And Lime Recipes

SPICY SWEET POTATOES WITH LIME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a baking sheet in the oven until hot, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, slice sweet potatoes in half lengthwise; slice each half into 3 wedges. Place in a medium bowl, and toss with oil, cumin, paprika, and ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
• When baking sheet is hot, remove from oven. Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer on sheet. Return to oven; cook until potatoes are crisp and golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Turn, and continue cooking until golden all over, about 15 minutes more.
• Remove from oven; season with salt and pepper. Serve with limes and sauce.

SWEET POTATOES WITH STAR ANISE, GINGER, AND LIME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and toss. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes, then shake or flip the potatoes over. Continue roasting for 10 minutes or until tender and slightly browned. Serve warm or at room temperature. Variation: There's a nice depth of flavor that comes from roasting all of the ingredients together, but those who really love ginger and lime might enjoy this variation. Instead of adding the ginger, lime zest and juice to the olive oil mixture, toss them with the potatoes after roasting for a hotter and zestier flavor.
