• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional for a kick)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• A squeeze of lime juice

The Secret to Perfectly Cooked Sweet Potatoes:

1. Prep and Season: Start by peeling your sweet potatoes and cutting them into even, bite-sized cubes. This ensures they cook uniformly, becoming perfectly tender on the inside with a delightful crisp on the outside.
2. Flavor Infusion: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. The spices not only add depth to the flavor but also introduce a warm, smoky aroma that makes this dish irresistible.
3. Roast to Perfection: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space to roast evenly. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and the edges are crisped to perfection.
4. The Final Touch: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the roasted sweet potatoes with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. This adds a fresh, zesty finish that beautifully complements the smoky sweetness of the potatoes.
