Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.

Step 3

Place the sweet potato cubes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and honey, then sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Toss the sweet potatoes with clean hands or a spoon to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Step 5

Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream while the potatoes are still hot.

Step 8

Use a potato masher or an electric hand mixer to mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a serving dish. Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Mashed Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes as a delicious side dish!
