- Heat the oven to 425 °F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Wash, scrub and trim the ends off the sweet potatoes
- Peel some of the skin on each potato off with a small knife or potato peeler, then cut in half length-wise
- Cut each half piece into two or three wedges (½" each) and place in a large mixing bowl
- Add the honey, olive oil [3 tbsp.], crushed red pepper, and kosher salt to the bowl with the sweet potatoes, mix together until the potatoes are completely coated
- Place the sweet potatoes evenly on the lined baking sheet, scraping any of the olive oil mixtures from the bowl on the baking sheet too. Make sure the potatoes are laying flat in a single layer on the baking sheet
- Roast the sweet potatoes on the lower rack of the oven, turning over gently one time about halfway through the cooking time
- Total cooking time is 35-45 minutes, which will vary slightly more or less time depending on your oven
- The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender and slightly brown and crispy on the edges
- Remove from oven, arrange on a large serving platter. Serve with yogurt sauce (directions below) on the top or on the side
- For the yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt, lime juice, olive oil [1 tbsp.] and salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix together with a spoon
- Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the sweet potatoes just before serving, as well as a sprinkle of chopped Italian parsley and sliced green onion.
