Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) honey
Oils and Spices:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, creating an ideal roasting environment for the sweet potatoes.
- Whisk together honey, olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl to create a glossy, aromatic coating.
- Tumble the sweet potato chunks into the seasoned mixture, gently rotating them until each piece is thoroughly enveloped in the fragrant glaze.
- Arrange the coated sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they’re spread in a single, even layer to promote uniform caramelization.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, using a spatula to flip the potatoes midway through cooking to ensure golden-brown edges and tender centers.
- Remove the sweet potatoes when they’ve developed a rich, caramelized exterior and a soft, creamy interior, presenting a delectable side dish bursting with sweet and spicy flavors.

- Choose vibrant, firm sweet potatoes with smooth skin for the best roasting results.
- Drizzle extra honey after roasting for a glossy, caramelized finish that enhances natural sweetness.
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking and consistent caramelization.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
