Cumin-Roasted Sweet Potatoes

 

2 pounds sweet potatoes

2 cloves garlic

salt

2 tablespoons cumin

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

Preheat broiler.

Cut the sweet potatoes into walnut-size chunks and transfer to a large bowl or

plastic bag.

Mince the garlic and mix with a generous pinch of salt. Use the side of your

knife (or the back of a wooden spoon) to press the salt and garlic to a paste.

In a small bowl, combine the garlic paste with the cumin, olive oil, lemon juice

and pepper. Add this mixture to the bowl or bag of sweet potatoes and toss to

coat evenly.

Transfer sweet potato chunks to a baking sheet. Broil for 10 to 15 minutes,

moving the potatoes around every 5 minutes to brown evenly. Sweet potatoes are

done when easily pierced with a knife and lightly browned.

Makes 4 servings.
