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

Scale
  • 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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
