Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Transfer the sweet potato cubes to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine lemon juice, honey, lemon zest, and ground cinnamon. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Pour the warm lemon glaze over the sweet potatoes and gently toss to coat.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
