Yield serves 4 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 sweet potatoes, scrubbed
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1/2 cup to finish
4 teaspoons coriander seeds, toasted and cracked
2 teaspoons lemon zest, from 2 lemons
2 teaspoon flake salt
2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley leaves, roughly chopped, optional

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Place the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Pierce the potatoes a few times with the tip of knife and rub with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Roast, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are soft all the way through, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Cut the potatoes in half and fluff the inside with a fork. Drizzle each half with a tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle each half with a few coriander seeds, lemon zest and flake salt. Sprinkle with the parsley leaves to finish if desired.
