Tropical Sweet Potato Fries image

Sweet potatoes make a perfect summer treat, especially with a nice twist by using lime zest! Boiling the potatoes beforehand allows them to cook perfectly once in the oven. This pairs well with seafood and burgers alike.

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sweet potatoes, unpeeled
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 ½ teaspoons grated lime zest
⅛ teaspoon chili powder
⅛ teaspoon paprika
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Allow to cool, then slice each sweet potato into wedges. Arrange wedges on a baking sheet.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brush the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Combine sea salt, lime zest, chili powder, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on all sides, about 20 minutes. Plate and sprinkle with the seasoning mixture and cilantro immediately.
