Honey Sweet Potatoes (Printable Version)
Sweet potatoes get tossed in honey, lemon, and butter, then baked until golden and soft. This sweet side vanishes fast.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
Pinch of salt, more if you'd like
02 -
1/4 cup honey
03 -
Juice and grated peel from 1 lemon
04 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
05 -
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
06 -
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into small chunks
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Lay out foil on a 13x18 inch baking sheet and pop your oven on at 425°F. Leave the pan nearby.
02 -
Dice up your sweet potatoes after peeling. Dump them into your big bowl and sprinkle with salt.
03 -
In your small saucepan, mix olive oil with melted butter. Warm on medium until it blends. Add honey, lemon juice, and zest. Let it barely bubble for a minute.
04 -
Pour that honey-lemon blend over the sweet potatoes and give them a really good toss so they're all covered.
05 -
Spread the tossed potatoes all over the baking pan. Slide into the oven for about 25 minutes. Want deeper browning? Roast 3–5 minutes more if you need to.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Oven times can shift a bit. Let them brown longer if you want them extra caramelized.
