  • ½ orange, small, zest & juice
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon cumin, ground

Preparation Instructions

Wash and prick the sweet potatoes all over. Place in the oven and turn it on to 425. Roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 and roast for 15-20 more minutes until the sweet potatoes are very soft and the skin is puffing away.

Using a pairing knife or vegetable peeler, gently pull off the skin. Mash lightly with a fork.

Fold in the orange zest and orange juice, lime juice, the chipotle, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander and salt.

Add more of any of the spices to your own personal taste and preference.
