Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (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 olive oil to prevent sticking.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. This ensures they roast instead of steaming.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the honey lime glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.
Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle the honey lime glaze over the hot sweet potatoes. Toss gently to coat them evenly.
Transfer the glazed sweet potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
