Sweet and Crispy Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Honey and Cinnamon Looking for a side dish that’s equal parts comforting and delicious? Roasted sweet potatoes with honey and cinnamon are the perfect combination of sweet and savory with a hint of spice. They’re not only incredibly easy to make, but they’re also a great addition to any meal—whether it’s a holiday feast or a simple weeknight dinner. Plus, with just a few ingredients, you can create a dish that’s packed with flavor and nutrition. For a dish that serves around 4-6 people, you’ll need: 4 medium sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1 inch in size. This helps them roast evenly, so you get that perfect balance of soft and crispy. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, making sure every piece is coated. Olive oil helps them roast beautifully, giving them a slightly crispy texture on the outside while staying tender inside. Next, drizzle the honey over the potatoes and sprinkle in the cinnamon, salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are well coated in this delicious mixture. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roasting them in a single layer ensures they get that gorgeous caramelization. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to make sure they cook evenly. You’ll know they’re done when they’re fork-tender and lightly browned on the edges. Once roasted, let them cool for a minute before serving. The honey and cinnamon caramelize during roasting, giving the sweet potatoes a rich, sweet glaze that pairs perfectly with the warmth of the cinnamon. They’re perfect as a side dish for roasted chicken, pork, or even by themselves as a healthy snack. So, are you ready to give this simple and flavorful dish a try?
