- 2 sweet potatoes, unpeeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
- salt and ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime zest
- 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Allow to cool, then slice each sweet potato into wedges. Arrange wedges on a baking sheet.
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Brush the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Combine sea salt, lime zest, chili powder, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on all sides, about 20 minutes. Plate and sprinkle with the seasoning mixture and cilantro immediately.
