Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes for consistent cooking.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and honey.
Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the sweet potatoes are well coated.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
