Honey Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Description
This dish involves coating peeled sweet potato cubes evenly in a mixture of honey, olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Roasting at 375°F for about 25 to 30 minutes allows the potatoes to become fork-tender with lightly browned edges where the honey caramelizes.
The honey provides a gentle sweetness complemented by cinnamon's warm spice, while the olive oil helps crisp the surface slightly. Salt and pepper balance the flavors and add basic seasoning.
These roasted sweet potatoes work well as a side for roasted meats or holiday meals, offering a sweet and spiced contrast to savory main dishes.
The recipe doubles well but requires spreading out the potatoes to avoid overcrowding, which can cause steaming rather than roasting and reduce crispness.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potato peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Add the sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
- Dump potatoes onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.
Notes
- This recipe can be doubled, but avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure proper roasting.
- Maple syrup is a suitable substitute for honey for a slightly different flavor profile.
