Sweet Potatoes With Coconut Pomegranate And Lime Recipes

LIME CILANTRO SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Toss sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking pan. Arrange potatoes in 1 layer and roast, stirring halfway through roasting, until tender, about 25 minutes total. Stir together cayenne, zest, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Whisk together lime juice and remaining tablespoon oil in a medium bowl, then add potatoes. Sprinkle with cayenne mixture and cilantro, stirring gently to combine.

COCONUT OIL ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
• In a large bowl, toss together potatoes, coconut oil, sugar, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 1 hour.

SKILLET SWEET POTATOES WITH COCONUT, GARLIC AND CHILE

Steps:

• Mix the coconut, garlic and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coconut mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the coconut and garlic are fragrant and the coconut has turned golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate.
• In the same skillet (no need to wipe it out), heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potatoes and salt. Toss to coat the sweet potatoes in the oil (be careful not to spatter the oil). Arrange the potatoes in a single layer and let cook, stirring occasionally so that all sides get browned, until the sweet potatoes are slightly charred and soft enough to pierce with a fork, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and immediately mix in the coconut mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice. Taste and add more lemon juice, if needed.
