Ingredients
3–4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cinnamon (optional but amazing)
Salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare sweet potatoes: Peel and cut into evenly sized cubes.
- Season: In a large bowl, mix sweet potatoes with olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
- Spread on tray: Arrange in a single layer (don’t overcrowd or they won’t caramelize).
- Roast: Bake for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are deeply caramelized and crispy.
- Optional glaze: Drizzle with a tiny bit of honey or butter while hot for extra shine and flavor.
Tips for Perfect Roasting
✔ High heat = crispy edges
✔ Parchment paper prevents burning
✔ Spread them out so they roast, not steam
