sea salt, freshly ground pepper, sumac
zest and juice of one lime
½ cup sour cream, creme fraîche or cashew cream for a dairy-free option

1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon mild chile flakes – Aleppo, Marash or Urfa are all nice options
1 teaspoon sumac (optional but a really really bright citrusy touch)

Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.

    Sweet potatoes taste great with jerk seasoning as well.
