Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into cubes
  • 3 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes to ensure uniform roasting.
  2. Mix the Glaze: In a large bowl, combine honey (natural), olive oil, apple cider vinegar (natural), ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
  3. Toss the Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with the honey glaze mixture.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Arrange the glazed sweet potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through to achieve even caramelization and golden edges.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle fresh thyme over the sweet potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting to infuse aroma without burning.
  6. Serve Warm: Transfer roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Dice sweet potatoes into similar-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  • Use fresh ground cinnamon and pepper for enhanced flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
  • Flip or toss sweet potatoes halfway through roasting for a golden crust on all sides.
  • Serve immediately after roasting for maximum texture contrast.
