Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 4 large carrots
- 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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Peel the sweet potatoes and carrots. Cut them into 1-inch chunks or sticks, ensuring they are similar in size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potatoes and carrots. Drizzle the olive oil and honey over the vegetables.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Toss everything well to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes and carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite protein or enjoy on its own!
