- oven
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon canola sunflower, grapeseed, vegetable or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1-3 chipotles in adobo depending on heat preference, plus 2 tablespoons of the adobo sauce
- ½ of a lime juiced
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Wash and dry your sweet potatoes, jab each potato all over with a fork, then rub with them with the oil and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Roast for 30 minutes, or until they are very soft and there are caramelized juices escaping from the potatoes.

- Scoop the sweet potatoes into the bowl over the chipotles, add the reserved ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, the juice of the half lime, and mash to your desired consistency. Taste the spicy sweet potatoes and adjust the salt and spice level if desired.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.
