Sweet Potatoes With Star Anise, Ginger, And Lime

• 1 pound sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 star anise, finely crushed
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, finely grated
• 1 lime, zested and juiced
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper

1. Preheat oven to 425u0b0F.
2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and toss. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Roast for 10 minutes, then shake or flip the potatoes over. Continue roasting for 10 minutes or until tender and slightly browned.
4. Serve warm or at room temperature.
5. Variation: There's a nice depth of flavor that comes from roasting all of the ingredients together, but those who really love ginger and lime might enjoy this variation. Instead of adding the ginger, lime zest and juice to the olive oil mixture, toss them with the potatoes after roasting for a hotter and zestier flavor.
