Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking. - Prepare the sweet potato mixture.
In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with melted butter, honey, and cinnamon. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the mixture. - Bake the sweet potatoes.
Spread the coated sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. This ensures even cooking. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Stir the sweet potatoes halfway to ensure even roasting. - Toss and serve.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and toss them in the sauce that accumulates at the bottom of the pan. Serve immediately as a warm, comforting side dish.
Notes
- For crispier sweet potatoes, ensure there is enough space between pieces on the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation.
- To add extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of ground ginger over the potatoes before baking.
- This dish pairs perfectly with roasted chicken, glazed ham, or a fresh salad.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
