Ingredients
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional garnish: fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, honey, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
For extra sweetness, drizzle with additional honey before serving.
Stirring the sweet potatoes halfway through roasting helps achieve an even caramelization.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
