Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, honey, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the seasoning mixture.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Spread the sweet potatoes out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for proper roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and caramelized. Stir halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
