Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2–3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Peel (optional) and cut the sweet potatoes into even 1-inch cubes so they cook evenly.
- Season: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, cinnamon, and salt until fully coated.
- Roast: Spread the cubes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender inside.
- Finish with Honey: Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with honey. Toss gently to coat.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon if desired, and enjoy warm.
Notes
Don’t drizzle the honey before roasting—it may burn. For extra flavor, try adding nutmeg, pumpkin spice, or a sprinkle of chopped pecans before serving. To make ahead, cut the sweet potatoes a day early and store them in cold water until ready to roast.
