Name: Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Lime Syrup and Chives
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: Makes 8 servings
Ingredients: 3 1/2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (10 cups); 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1/4 cup water; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice; 1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lime zest; 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

These sweet potatoes caramelize slightly in the oven, which gives them a sweet crunch as their flesh remains creamy. Lime syrup lends them addictive acid and tart notes, and fresh chives add a faint onion flavor.

Cooks' note:

Potatoes can be roasted and syrup made 1 day ahead (without tossing together). Chill separately in airtight containers. Reheat potatoes in a single roasting pan in oven, and heat syrup in a small saucepan until hot. Toss together, then toss with zest and sprinkle with chives.
