Happy New Year!

Here's the first of a barrage of posts:

Chive-Lime Sweet Potatoes!

This is so easy and unexpectedly delicious.

Zest a lime, chop some chives, boil agave+lime juice, roast potatoes, mix. The end!

"Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Lime Syrup and Chives" discovered on the wide, wonderful world of Epicurious and slightly tweaked:

3 1/2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup water

1 T agave

1 T fresh lime juice

1/2 t lime zest

2 T finely chopped fresh chives

oil to coat potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 450°F and spread potatoes out in a casserole dish (or more pans as needed), sprinkle with salt n pepper, and oil to lightly coat.

2. Roast for 15-30 min, depending on your oven. They should be tender when poked with a fork.

3. While the potatoes cook, bring water, agave, and lime juice to a boil in a little saucepan, then simmer until reduced to a few Ts (3-5 min).

4. Toss the the potatoes w the sauce, add the lime zest, and finish with the chives!
