Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 500g)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat: Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow 15 minutes for proper heating
- Prepare potatoes: Peel and dice sweet potatoes into uniform one-inch cubes
- Mix ingredients: Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated
- Arrange: Spread potatoes on parchment-lined baking sheet in single layer
- Roast: Bake 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through until fork-tender and caramelized
- Serve: Serve warm with optional extra honey drizzle
Notes
- Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked
- Pat sweet potatoes dry after cutting to remove excess moisture that can prevent caramelization
- Maintain single-layer spacing to prevent steaming and ensure proper caramelization with crispy edges
- Test doneness with a fork – properly roasted sweet potatoes should pierce easily but still hold their shape
