Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Step 2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, honey, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Step 5
Spread the sweet potatoes out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for proper roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and caramelized. Stir halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
Step 7
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
