45 minutes total (Active 15 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Nonstick aluminum foil
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, halved (about 3 lb)
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 lime, for zest/juice
  • ½ cup roasted, salted pumpkin seeds

Steps

    1. Set butter out to soften. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with foil. Halve potatoes lengthwise; place in a microwave-safe 13- x 9-inch baking dish and add 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave on HIGH 12–15 minutes or until potatoes begin to soften.
    2. Drain potatoes. Drizzle baking sheet with 3 tablespoons oil; place potatoes cut-side down on baking sheet, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Bake 12–15 minutes or until fork-tender. Meanwhile, stir together butter, honey, red pepper, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt until blended. Zest lime (1 teaspoon) and squeeze for juice (1 tablespoon).
    3. Arrange potatoes cut-side up on platter; top evenly with butter mixture and pumpkin seeds. Sprinkle with zest and drizzle lime juice. Serve.
