Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice sweet potatoes into uniform 1 inch cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove surface moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until a smooth emulsion forms.
  3. Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and stir until every piece is thoroughly coated in the glaze.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
  5. Roast for 10-12 minutes until the edges start to soften.
  6. Flip the cubes carefully using a spatula to ensure even browning.
  7. Roast for another 13 minutes until the edges are caramelized and centers are velvety.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them rest on the pan for 2 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
