Spicy Sweet Potatoes with Lime

 

4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon ground ginger

salt and pepper

 

For the yogurt dipping sauce:

1 cup plain yogurt

3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon cumin

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Set a baking sheet in the oven while warming.

Halve the potatoes length-wise, and cut each piece into three wedges.

Mix together the cumin, paprika and ground ginger. Coat the potato wedges

quickly with the oil, and then toss with the spices and season with salt and

pepper.

Place the potatoes on the preheated baking sheet, in one layer. Set in the oven

and cook for 15 minutes. Flip the wedges with a spatula and cook for another 15

minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together the yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, and cumin for the

yogurt dipping sauce.

When the potatoes are done, remove and serve with the sauce.

Makes 4 servings.
