Sweet, tender, and perfectly caramelized, Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes are a delightful side dish featuring tender cubes of sweet potatoes glazed with a buttery honey, cinnamon, and salt mixture for a delicious balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Honey Glaze

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.
  2. Make the Honey Glaze: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the salted butter. Once melted, whisk in the honey, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt until all the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Toss Sweet Potatoes with Glaze: Place the diced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey butter mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss thoroughly, making sure each cube is coated evenly with the glaze.
  4. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the glazed sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  5. Roast in Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, toss the sweet potatoes to ensure even caramelization and roasting on all sides.
  6. Check for Doneness and Serve: When the sweet potatoes are tender inside and caramelized to a golden brown glaze on the outside, remove them from the oven. Serve warm as a delicious and comforting side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the sweet potatoes before roasting.
  • Adjust honey quantity to taste if you prefer less sweetness.
  • Use light or dark honey depending on your preferred flavor intensity.
  • Sweet potatoes can be roasted a day ahead and reheated gently in the oven.
  • To keep the sweet potatoes from sticking, make sure to use parchment paper or lightly grease the baking sheet.
