Description
A simple recipe for sweet potatoes roasted until caramelized with a honey and cinnamon glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the bowl. Toss well until all pieces are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
- Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for better caramelization.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time. The potatoes are done when they are tender inside and slightly browned and sticky on the outside.
- Serve immediately as a side dish.
Notes
- For extra crunch, toss with 1/4 cup of chopped pecans during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the honey with maple syrup.
- To make these ahead, roast them completely, cool them, and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
