Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled (optional) and cut into evenly sized cubes
  • 3 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if preferred. Cut into evenly sized cubes to ensure consistent roasting.
  2. Mix the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey (natural), olive oil, sea salt, ground cinnamon, black pepper, and finely chopped fresh rosemary to create a balanced sweet and savory glaze.
  3. Coat the Sweet Potatoes: Gently toss the cubed sweet potatoes in the glaze so each piece is lightly covered, ensuring even caramelization during roasting.
  4. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange them in a single layer to allow air circulation and crisp up the edges.
  5. Roast to Perfection: Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve even golden-brown color. The sweet potatoes should be tender on the inside with caramelized edges.

Notes

  • Choose similar-sized cubes for even cooking and to prevent burning or undercooking.
  • Use fresh herbs like rosemary for optimal aroma and flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming and to encourage crispy edges.
  • Flip the sweet potatoes gently halfway through roasting to maintain the glaze.
  • Adjust the amount of honey (natural) gradually to reach your preferred sweetness level.
