Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger. Mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the bowl with the sweet potatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil, soy sauce, and honey over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the pieces are not crowded for even roasting.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden and tender.
Once roasted, transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and color.
Serve warm and enjoy your Savory Gingered Sweet Potatoes!
