Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Try to keep the pieces uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and add the ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the sweet potato pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper roasting.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to achieve a golden-brown caramelized exterior.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the honey in a small saucepan over low heat until it becomes more fluid, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to overheat or burn the honey.
Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish and drizzle the warm honey over the top. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
