How to Prepare Blistered Sweet Potatoes With Serranos and Lime [Vegan, Gluten-free]

  1. Heat oven to 300°F.
  2. Scrub the sweet potatoes and poke them all over with a fork.
  3. Place them in a roasting pan large enough to hold all the potatoes with a few inches in-between each one.
  4. Cover with foil and bake the potatoes until they are easily pierced with a knife but not mushy. This should take about 60-70 minutes. Then take them out to let them cool.
  5. Raise oven temp to 450°F and arrange a rack to the top of the oven.
  6. Meanwhile, combine the serranos, coconut oil, lime zest, lime juice, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan.
  7. Cook these ingredients over medium heat until the oil is melted and the sugar is dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes.
  8. Smash the potatoes with the palm of your hand.
  9. Pour the syrup over the top of the potatoes before you put them in the top of the oven.
  10. Roast the potatoes until they blistered and brown. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
  11. Finish them off with chives and sea salt before you serve them.
