Description

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes combine tender roasted sweet potato cubes with a warm and fragrant glaze of honey and cinnamon. This flavorful and comforting side dish is simple to prepare, using just a few pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup/agave syrup as a vegan alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and perfect caramelization.
  2. Toss with Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, honey, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the honey-cinnamon mixture.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting. The sweet potatoes should be tender inside with a crispy, golden exterior.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the full sweet and spicy aroma and flavor.

Notes

  • Choose firm sweet potatoes free of soft spots for the best texture.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes for consistent roasting.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  • Flip the sweet potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispness and golden color.
  • Adjust honey quantity after roasting if you prefer a sweeter dish by drizzling more honey on top.
