Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3 medium-sized firm sweet potatoes with vibrant orange flesh, peeled and cut into 1 to 1.5 inch cubes

For the Glaze and Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Peel and Chop Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes about 1 to 1.5 inches each to ensure uniform cooking.
  3. Toss with Honey (natural) and Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, drizzle olive oil and honey (natural) over the cubed sweet potatoes. Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon (natural), and fresh thyme leaves on top. Gently toss using your hands or a spatula until evenly coated.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway through to promote even caramelization and browning. The potatoes are done when tender inside and nicely caramelized on the outside.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly to enhance the flavors. Serve warm as a delicious side dish that pairs well with various main courses.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes for uniform cooking and texture.
  • Use fresh thyme for a vibrant herbal note to complement the sweetness.
  • Opt for high-quality olive oil to boost richness and aroma.
  • Monitor oven during the last 10 minutes to prevent overcooking or burning.
  • Let the roasted sweet potatoes rest a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
