Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 sweet potatoes (washed, peeled, and cubed)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (or butter)
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • Dash of pumpkin pie spice
  • Dash of ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for roasting the sweet potatoes evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Place the cubed sweet potatoes into a large zip-lock bag. Add the olive oil, honey, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until the potatoes are fully coated with the honey and spice mixture.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potatoes evenly on a cookie sheet in a single layer, making sure none are overlapping to allow even roasting and caramelization.
  4. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and have a slightly caramelized exterior.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer the sweet potatoes into a serving bowl. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the top for a beautiful finish and extra richness. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute butter for olive oil for a richer flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of honey depending on how sweet you prefer your potatoes.
  • Feel free to add a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary for extra aroma.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup.
  • Sweet potatoes can be roasted a day ahead and reheated before serving.
