Check it out – a video! We recently partnered with the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission to create videos about one of my favorite foods – the sweet potato. Here’s a recipe that will start to get you in the mood for fall, but is still light and fresh.

Below are a few of my favorite screenshots. Scroll down (or click the image above) for the video. Special thanks to Rightfrog Productions for the video work!

Author: Jeanine Donofrio
Serves: serves 2 as a meal (3-ish as a side)
Ingredients
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon chile powder
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey

    I’ve already added sweet potato’s to my grocery list for next week, but didn’t know what to do with them yet. Now I don’t have to look further, haha 🙂 Thanks!

    Oh my gosh, what a gorgeous video! You ROCKED that, girl! Super, super impressed. The salad looks wonderful (let’s be real, anything with sweet potatoes in it looks wonderful to me!) and I’m so excited for any videos you might still have in the works.
