Sweet, spicy, savory sweet potatoes are slow-roasted creating a mouth-watering caramel flavor. Serve them with chicken, steak, or as a meal by themselves.

This past year, we have been obsessed with sweet potatoes. I love slow-roasting them and using them as a vessel for all types of seasonings and toppings. But nothing is better than roasting them with sweet honey, spicy chili seasoning, and a splash of fresh lime.

Ingredients

Ingredients for chili honey-lime sweet potatoes

Let’s Make Chili Honey-Lime Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. Wash and slice sweet potatoes length-wise.
  3. Lay them face down on a cookie sheet and rub the skin with olive oil and liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Flip the sweet potatoes so the flesh side is facing up.
  5. Rub the flesh with olive oil, drizzle with honey and lime, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chili seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  6. Place the potato halves flesh side down on the cookie sheet and roast for 25-35 minutes depending on the size of the sweet potato.
  7. Remove the potatoes from the oven, flip them over, drizzle with honey, and squirt with lime juice.
  8. Sprinkle with additional chili seasoning and salt.
  9. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Roasting Any Sweet Potato

This is my basic recipe for roasting any sweet potato. The potatoes will turn out with a soft center that is caramelized on top. I swear once you make them this way, you will never roast a whole sweet potato again.

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°.
  2. Clean the sweet potato with water and a brush or a cloth.
  3. Slice it in half length-wise.
  4. Rub the skin with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Flip the sweet potato so the flesh is facing up.
  6. Rub the flesh with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  7. Place the flesh side down on a cookie sheet and roast for 25-35 minutes.
  8. Remove the potatoes from the oven, flip them over, and drizzle them with the remaining honey, chili powder, a squirt of lime juice, and salt.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips:

  1. I never use parchment paper or a cooking mat when I use this method to roast sweet potatoes because I want the potatoes to caramelize around the edges and stay soft in the center.
  2. SALT! I can’t say it enough, sweet potatoes need SALT! So don’t be shy, make sure you season these liberally.
  3. Make a tiny slice on the backside of each potato before roasting so that they sit nicely on the plate when served. There’s nothing fun about chasing a rounded sweet potato around your plate.

Notes

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
  • For perfectly caramelized sweet potatoes do not use parchment paper or a baking mate. Place the potatoes directly on the cookie sheet.
  • SALT! I can’t say it enough, sweet potatoes need SALT! So don’t be shy, make sure you season these liberally.
  • Make a tiny slice on the backside of each potato before roasting so that they sit nicely on the plate when served. There’s nothing fun about chasing a rounded sweet potato around your plate.

    I haven’t made this recipe yet, but I have a question. The recipe calls for 2 tsp. of chili seasoning, but the instructions only say to sprinkle 1 tsp. of the seasoning on the potatoes. What do you do with the other teaspoon of seasoning?
