Cumin and Lime Roasted Sweet Potatoes

The cilantro and lime on these sweet potatoes really gives them a bright, fresh flavor.  You can adjust the amount of lime juice to your taste (I like a lot of lime so sometimes I add extra).  I really like to serve this as a side with Mexican or Indian food--the flavors of the cumin and lime go particularly well with those types of food, but really it can go with just about anything.
