This past year, we have been obsessed with sweet potatoes. I love to roast them and use them as a vessel for all types of toppings. But nothing is better than roasting them with sweet honey and a spicy chili seasoning. I promise you’ll love my Chili Honey-Lime Roasted Sweet Potatoes recipe.

How do you roast a 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 because you roast them flesh-side down. I swear once you make them this way, you will never roast a whole sweet potato.

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.

I like to serve these sweet potatoes with fresh lime wedges and more honey to drizzle on top. I just can’t get enough of sweet, salty, spicy flavors.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips:

1. I never use parchment paper or a cooking mat when I make these potatoes. The reason is that I am looking for that caramelized top that comes from the honey and olive oil and you won’t get that if you use something covering your cookie sheet.
2. SALT! I can’t say it enough, sweet potatoes need SALT! So don’t be shy, make sure you season these.
3. I made a very small slice on the back of the side before I roast these so that they sit nicely on the plate when I serve them. There’s nothing fun about chasing a rounded sweet potato around your plate.

I used my favorite Chile Lime Season Blend for this recipe. If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, you can pick it up there. If not, you can order it online. I’ve also added a link to my other favorite Trader Joe’s seasoning blend – Everything Bagle Sesame Season Blend!
