Roast: Once you’ve finished coating the cubes of sweet potato in the honey and cinnamon mixture, you can spread them out evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven.
Give the honey cinnamon roasted sweet potato cubes a stir about halfway through, it should only take 25 to 30 minutes!
Roasted Sweet Potato Variations:
I love these honey cinnamon roasted sweet potatoes but there are lots of tasty ways to sweeten or spice the sweet potato cubes. I’ve listed some popular options by three categories: sweet, savory, and spicy!
Sweet: Maple syrup is the obvious choice besides honey. Try it with some chopped pecans sprinkled over the top in the last couple minutes of baking! Another good combo would be brown sugar and nutmeg.
Savory: So many options here. Rosemary and garlic? Parmesan and black pepper? A fresh blend of herbs like oregano, thyme, and parsley with some olive oil is a good choice as well!
Spicy: Toss the sweet potatoes in some oil with your favorite Cajun or Creole seasoning. Smoked paprika, chili lime, and harissa are also great ways to spice up roasted sweet potatoes!
Or combine any of these to make sweet and spicy or sweet and savory variations, like these maple bacon roasted sweet potatoes!
TIPS & TRICKS FOR PERFECT ROASTED SWEET POTATOES!
Parchment Paper: You may be aware that honey is sticky and messy! You can avoid some of the mess by lining your baking sheet with parchment paper before roasting. It’ll make cleaning a lot easier!
Cook Time: Different varieties of sweet potato may require more or less time to roast. The size of the cubes can matter too. Just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn! Once they’re fork tender, they’re ready to devour.
Sheet Pan: Use a large sheet pan and try not to overcrowd it. If the sweet potato cubes are too close together, you won’t get the crispy edges.
