Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 white sweet potatoes scrubbed clean and cubed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven heats, prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a Silpat liner. This will help prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed white sweet potatoes. Pour in the honey and olive oil. Then, sprinkle in the fresh thyme leaves, cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice), kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until the sweet potatoes are well coated with the mixture.
  3. Once the sweet potatoes are coated, pour them onto your prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer, ensuring they have room to roast evenly.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potatoes for about 25 to 30 minutes. Set a timer for 10 minutes and stir the potatoes every 10 minutes to prevent them from burning. You want them to be fork-tender and golden brown.
  5. As the sweet potatoes roast, take a moment to enjoy the enticing aroma filling your kitchen. It’s a sure sign that something delicious is on the way!
  6. When the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them firm up a bit and make them easier to handle.
  7. Serve the Roasted White Sweet Potatoes with Honey Cinnamon Glaze hot as a side dish to your favorite main courses, or enjoy them on their own for a delightful treat!
