Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Whisky
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch thick rounds or wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to ensure they are evenly coated.
Arrange the sweet potato pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even browning.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the glaze by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the honey, whisky, and cinnamon into the melted butter. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken the glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.
After the initial 25 minutes of roasting, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and brush the top side generously with the honey-whisky glaze.
Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning and brushing them with more glaze halfway through, until they are caramelized and tender.
Transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving platter, drizzle any leftover glaze over the top, and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
