Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 500g)

Seasoning & Flavoring

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes at the proper temperature.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into uniform one-inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
  3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, honey, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until all pieces are evenly coated with the mixture.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potato cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping for even roasting.
  5. Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to promote caramelization and even cooking, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Serve: Serve the roasted sweet potatoes warm. For extra sweetness, optionally drizzle with additional honey before serving.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Stir halfway through roasting for uniform caramelization.
  • Adjust the honey amount to taste if you prefer a sweeter dish.
  • These sweet potatoes pair well with both savory and sweet dishes.
