Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 pounds) sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash, peel, and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place the diced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle the salt and ground cinnamon evenly, then toss to coat the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized on the edges.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Drizzle the honey over the roasted sweet potatoes, tossing gently to ensure they are evenly coated.
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy!
