Sweet Potato Wow Wow ~ Roasted Sweet Potato With Onion, Tomatoes, Chilies, Goat Cheese, Pine Nuts, Lime & Cilantro Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat oven to 350F
• Scrub the sweet potato thoroughly and dry it.
• Coat the sweet potato lightly with olive oil and sprinkle it with coarse salt.
• Roast the sweet potato until fork-tender, 45 minutes - 1 hour
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onions
• Seed and chop your chili and add to the onions
• Season the onions & chili with salt, pepper, and cumin to your taste. Go easy on the salt because the lime juice really brightens the flavors.
• Add the chopped tomato and let it just heat through.
• If you have time and enthusiasm, toast the pine nuts in a small, dry skillet. Watch carefully so you don't burn them!
• Remove the sweet potato from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. (I actually roasted my sweet potato first and let it cool while I did everything else)
• Set the potato on a serving dish and cut it into nice big chunks.
• Roll the uncut lime around on your cutting board, to encourage it to release it's juices. Cut it in half and squeeze the juice from 1/2 the lime all over the sweet potato.
• Sprinkle with about 1/2 the cilantro
• Remove the onion-chili-tomato mix from the skillet with a slotted spoon (coz that nice fresh tomato will have released a lot of juice), and spread on top of the sweet potato.
• Sprinkle with the remaining cilantro
• Top with goat cheese and pine nuts
• Taste and add a little squeeze of the 2nd half of the lime if needed.
• Enjoy immediately!
