Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Honey, Smoked Paprika and Lime Yogurt is such a delicious and fresh-tasting side dish. The lime yogurt adds a tanginess to the sweetness of the yams.

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 35 mins
  • Yields: 4 - 6 Servings

Ingredients

2 medium (about 3 pounds) yams

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided (2 for the potatoes, 1 for the yogurt)

1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup greek yogurt

Juice of 2 limes

2 green onions, ends trimmed and sliced on the bias

Cilantro leaves

Directions

1Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half in half widthwise. Cut each quarter into four long wedges, so you'll have a total of 32 wedges. Add wedges to a large bowl and toss with honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil and smoked paprika. Season well with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes, tossing twice throughout.

2Preheat and oven to 425°F. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until they are tender and caramelized around the edges (35 - 45 minutes), tossing occasionally. You'll know they're done when a knife easily pierces the thickest part of one of the wedges.

3While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together yogurt, lime juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper.

4To serve, transfer potatoes to a large platter, and drizzle with lime yogurt (you won't use all of it). Finish with a scattering of sliced green onions and cilantro leaves.
