Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Place the halved sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, flesh side up. Drizzle each half with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and rub it evenly across the surface.

Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the sweet potato halves.

Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are tender and the edges start to caramelize.

Honey Glaze: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, warm the honey slightly to make it easier to drizzle (you can microwave it for about 10 seconds). Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the oven and drizzle the honey evenly over each half.

Final Touch: Return the sweet potatoes to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just until the honey begins to bubble and glaze the potatoes.

Serve: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. The tangy lime juice will balance the sweetness and spice perfectly.

Enjoy: Serve warm as a side dish or a delicious snack. Enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!
