Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Who doesn't love sweet potatoes over the holidays? I know I do. Especially candied ones or sweet potato casserole covered in warm ooey-gooey marshmallows. But those are just so unhealthy for you. So I played around in the kitchen and created some oven honey roasted sweet potatoes. These are sweet enough to satisfy the craving and much healthier for you.

Here's what you'll need:

4-5 sweet potatoes

1/4 Olive oil

1/4 Honey

Cinnamon

Cayenne Pepper (optional)

Salt

Pepper

Instructions:

1.       Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2.       Peel those sweet potatoes and cut them up into 1 inch cubes. (Smaller for faster cooking time)

3.       Lay them out on a roasting tray in a single layer.

4.       Drizzle with honey and olive oil and toss. I find that heat the honey up in the microwave for a few seconds helps get it to coat the sweet potatoes better.

5.       Next sprinkle some cinnamon salt and pepper over the potatoes. I like to add cayenne pepper as well for a bit of a kick.

6.       Toss those potatoes again and stick them in the oven for about 30 minutes or until fork tender.

This recipe would work great for different squashes too or maybe a combination of squash and sweet potatoes.
