Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled (optional) and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash, peel if desired, and cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure uniform roasting.
  2. Toss with Honey, Cinnamon, and Oil: In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, honey, ground cinnamon, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. This ensures even roasting and helps develop caramelized edges.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Turn the potatoes halfway through cooking to promote even browning. The sweet potatoes should be tender inside with a golden, slightly crisp exterior.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a comforting and flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.
  • Use fresh ground cinnamon for the best aromatic flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to get crisp, caramelized edges instead of steamed potatoes.
  • Warm the honey slightly for easier mixing and better coating.
  • Test tenderness with a fork; potatoes should be soft but not mushy.
