Try cooking sweet potatoes with cilantro and you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise. Cilantro and lime are a really popular combination in Mexican food, and there’s a reason for that. I think that the taste of lime can bring out the flavor in certain ingredients, and sweet potatoes are not the exception. And cilantro has a fresh flavor and it’s perfect with vegetables. This sweet potato with lime is really easy to make and pairs perfectly as a side dish for burgers, meats, and fish.
