How to Make Tequila And Lime Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub 2 lbs of sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch thick wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with 1/4 cup of tequila, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Spread the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender but not mushy, flipping halfway through.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to the preheated grill.
  8. Grill for 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until grill marks appear and the edges are slightly caramelized. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Garnish with extra lime wedges and fresh cilantro if desired.
