Ingredients
Scale
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil and honey over the sweet potatoes. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss again until the seasoning adheres.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to achieve crispy roasted sweet potatoes.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time. You are looking for caramelized sweet potatoes that are fork-tender inside and crispy outside.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a healthy roasted vegetable side dish.
Notes
For extra crispy roasted sweet potatoes, ensure the potatoes are completely dry before tossing them with oil.
If you prefer a savory profile, skip the honey and cinnamon and use 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon paprika instead. This makes a great savory sweet potato recipe.
This recipe is excellent for meal prep; store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
