Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized firm sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes or wedges
- 2 tablespoons pure raw honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into even-sized cubes or wedges to ensure consistent roasting and texture.
- Coat with Flavor: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with olive oil, honey, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until each piece is evenly coated to help develop caramelization.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange them with enough space so the pieces roast instead of steaming.
- Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through to ensure even browning and crispy edges.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then enjoy warm. The sweet potatoes should be tender inside with golden, sticky, caramelized edges.
Notes
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform sizes for even roasting.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming.
- Use fresh ground cinnamon for the best flavor.
- For an extra glossy finish, drizzle more honey after roasting.
- Taste a small piece before roasting and adjust honey or cinnamon according to your preference.
