Ingredients
2 pounds sweet potatoes (peeled and chopped)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons melted butter
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
¼ cup honey
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, toss the chopped sweet potatoes with salt.
In a small saucepan, combine melted butter and olive oil. Stir in lemon juice, zest, and honey; simmer for 1 minute.
Pour the honey-lemon mixture over the sweet potatoes, tossing until well coated.
Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
Serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle with fresh thyme or rosemary before roasting.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or smoked paprika for a sweet-spicy twist.
Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
Works well with both orange and white sweet potatoes.
