Zesty Honey-Lemon Roasted Sweet Potatoes: A Burst of Flavor in Every Bite
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside – these Zesty Honey-Lemon Roasted Sweet Potatoes are bursting with flavor and sure to become a family favorite!
- Total Time: 35 – 40 Minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl and pour the honey-lemon mixture over them. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re not too crowded. This ensures they roast evenly and develop a nice caramelized exterior.
- Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and season with additional salt to taste if desired. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or snack.
Notes
- For an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle some freshly chopped herbs like parsley or thyme over the roasted sweet potatoes before serving.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting the sweet potatoes. This ensures they cook evenly and develop a nice caramelized exterior.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of honey and lemon juice according to your taste preferences. If you prefer sweeter potatoes, add a bit more honey. For a more tangy flavor, increase the amount of lemon juice.
