Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and tender.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the tangy sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Mince the garlic and stir it into the saucepan along with the smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a large serving bowl.
Pour the tangy sauce over the roasted sweet potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
