- 4 teaspoons coconut oil, melted
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
Citrus Dressing
- 1/2 medium shallot, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- pinch salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make Potatoes: Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Toss potatoes, coconut oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Spread out onto a large rimmed baking sheet, and transfer to the oven. Roast, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork tender and browned, 35 to 40 minutes.

Notes
For best results, roast the sweet potatoes in the center of the oven and stir them regularly. Sweet potatoes are high in natural sugars, so they can burn easily.
