These simple roasted sweet potatoes are tossed with fragrant spices, lime zest and juice. Serve them with roasted pork, chicken or steak for a quick weeknight meal. When roasting sweet potatoes, we like to space them out as much as we can to help them crisp up, which is why the potatoes are divided into 2 pans.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
