Description

Deliciously caramelized honey roasted sweet potatoes, perfectly balanced with a touch of cinnamon and fresh rosemary. A healthy and flavorful side dish that’s easy to make and perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or organic preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (helps with roasting and crisp edges)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional – adds warmth and depth)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped finely (optional – for a herby touch)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (essential for balance)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (sharpens flavors)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, honey, cinnamon, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all pieces are well coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are golden and caramelized.
  5. Remove from the oven and serve warm as a side dish or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup for honey for a vegan option.
  • For crispier edges, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts in the last 10 minutes of roasting for added crunch.
