Ingredients

• 2 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
• 2 Tbsp. avocado oil
• 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. cumin seeds
• 1 Tbsp. thyme leaves
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper
• 2 Tbsp. lime juice, fresh

2. Toss the sweet potato rounds with 2 tablespoons avocado oil. Add the cumin, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper.
3. Place sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes at 20 minutes. When tender remove from oven and set aside.
