Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 small red onion
• 1 whole jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 whole lime
• 1 large avocado

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl with sweet potatoes. Toss until all the potato pieces are well-coated with the spice mixture.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are in a single layer for even cooking.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy, stirring halfway through the cooking time.

Step 6

While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the red onion and jalapeño pepper. Use caution with the jalapeño and remove the seeds if you prefer less heat.

Step 7

Chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.

Step 8

After baking, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring them to a serving bowl.

Step 9

Add the chopped red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to the potatoes. Toss gently to combine.

Step 10

Halve the lime and squeeze fresh lime juice over the potato mixture. Toss again to distribute the lime flavor.

Step 11

Slice the avocado and arrange the slices on top of the fiesta potatoes just before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish or as a vibrant and healthy snack.
