Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot start for those sweet potatoes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and paprika. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, giving them a good toss halfway through to ensure even roasting.
  2. Check for crispiness; they should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. If not done, leave them for a few more minutes.
  3. Once roasted to perfection, remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm!

Notes

For a different flavor, substituting maple syrup for honey can create a delicious twist. Ensure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming instead of roasting. To store, let them cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to three days and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
