Roasted White Sweet Potatoes with Honey Cinnamon Glaze
Description
This recipe prepares white sweet potatoes cubed and coated in a glaze made from honey, olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, seasoned with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Roasting at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes develops caramelized edges and a creamy interior texture. Stirring the potatoes every 10 minutes encourages even cooking and prevents burning without breaking the pieces.
The honey and cinnamon glaze balances sweetness with a hint of spice, while the thyme adds a fresh herbal note that complements the earthiness of the sweet potatoes. The seasoning also includes salt and pepper for a rounded flavor profile.
This dish serves well hot as a side to roast meats or alongside other autumnal dishes. The simplicity of the ingredients allows the white sweet potatoes’ mild flavor to shine enhanced by a subtle sweet and spiced glaze.
