Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon and Honey
This easy roasted sweet potato recipe transforms simple cubes of sweet potato into caramelized, tender bites coated in olive oil, honey, and warm cinnamon. Perfect for weeknight dinners, Thanksgiving, or holiday feasts.
Equipment
- large rimmed baking sheet for roasting
- Mixing bowl for tossing sweet potatoes with seasoning
- Parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy cleanup
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey (or pure maple syrup)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated.
- Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized on the edges.
- Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
For crispier edges, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and roast in a single layer. Flip halfway through for even caramelization.
