Honey & Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 25-30 mins | Serves: 4
Ingredients
-
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
-
1 tbsp olive oil (for roasting)
-
1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
Optional: A pinch of cayenne pepper if you like a “sweet and heat” profile.
Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
Toss: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with the olive oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt until every piece is evenly coated.
-
Roast: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Ensure they aren’t crowded, or they will steam instead of roast.
-
Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, tossing them halfway through, until they are tender and the edges are slightly charred and caramelized as seen in your photo.
-
Serve: Let them cool for 5 minutes to allow the honey glaze to set.
Tips for your Recipe Page
Since you manage a recipe page, here are a few ways to “health-ify” this for your followers:
-
Air Fryer Version: Cook at 380°F for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. This gets them extra crispy with less oil.
-
Savory Twist: Swap the honey and cinnamon for garlic powder, rosemary, and smoked paprika if you’re in the mood for something more savory.
-
WW Tip: To lower the points further, you can use a sugar-free maple syrup or simply roast them with a light spray of olive oil and plenty of cinnamon.
