Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into spears or wedges.
- Spray a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
- Spread the sweet potato spears evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the red pepper, honey, lime juice, and salt.
- Continue to stir until everything is well-combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Drizzle the chipotle glaze evenly over the sweet potato spears.
- Toss the sweet potato spears gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the glaze.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized. (You may want to turn the spears halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.)
- Once done, remove the sweet potato spears from the oven.
- Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
- For an added burst of flavor, squeeze a little extra lime juice over the spears before serving.
- You can also sprinkle some fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish.
Tips:
- Make sure to evenly coat the sweet potato spears with the glaze for a consistent flavor.
- For a smokier flavor, consider adding a bit more chipotle pepper or using chipotle powder instead.
- Roast the sweet potatoes on a single layer to ensure they cook evenly and get a nice caramelization.
- You can use parchment paper on the baking sheet to minimize sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Adjust the lime juice based on your preference for tanginess.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter alternative.
