Excellent way to prepare sweet potatoes. The lime juice gives the flavor a "pop". I never would have thought to use it. I like my potatoes a bit sweeter, so I added 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.Also, it is easier to cut the potatoes in half lengthwise before baking. Salt and place cut side down on a parchment lined baking pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until tender.
