Scale
Main Ingredients
- 5 cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes
- 0.25 cup melted butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the sweet potatoes to a perfect tenderness and caramelization.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and diced sweet potatoes with the melted butter, honey, and cinnamon. Toss everything together thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with the sweet and spiced butter mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potatoes into a single layer on a baking sheet. This helps them roast evenly and develop a nice caramelized exterior.
- Bake Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting and prevent sticking.
- Toss and Serve: Once roasted, toss the sweet potatoes in any sauce or drippings left on the pan to coat them again, then serve warm as a delightful side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, spread the sweet potatoes out so they aren’t crowded on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute maple syrup for honey to add a different kind of sweetness.
- Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger to the cinnamon for a more complex spice profile.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute melted butter with melted coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Use fresh cinnamon for the best aroma and flavor impact.
