Roasted sweet potato and honey glaze
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
⏱️ 5 min•🌡️ 400°F - 2
In a large bowl, combine the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon. Toss well to ensure all potato pieces are evenly coated.
⏱️ 5 min - 3
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding, as this will steam the potatoes instead of roasting them. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
⏱️ 1 min - 4
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
⏱️ 20 min•🌡️ 400°F - 5
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the honey glaze. In a small microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan, combine the honey and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat gently for about 30 seconds in the microwave or over low heat on the stovetop until the mixture is warm and easily pourable. Stir to combine.
⏱️ 2 min - 6
Carefully remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven. Drizzle the warm honey glaze evenly over the potatoes. Gently toss the potatoes directly on the baking sheet with a spatula or tongs to coat them thoroughly with the glaze.
⏱️ 2 min - 7
Return the glazed sweet potatoes to the oven and continue to roast for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly caramelized and the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
⏱️ 7 min•🌡️ 400°F - 8
Remove from the oven and serve hot. These roasted sweet potatoes make an excellent side dish for a variety of meals.
