Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the sweet potatoes if desired and cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure perfect roasting.
  2. Mix the Glaze: In a large bowl, whisk together honey (natural), olive oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until smooth and aromatic, forming a glaze that will coat every sweet potato piece.
  3. Toss and Coat: Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl with the glaze. Gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the mixture and mix lightly to distribute the herbs.
  4. Arrange and Roast: Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking. Avoid overcrowding the pieces so each can crisp beautifully.
  5. Roast Till Golden: Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking. The potatoes should become tender inside with caramelized, slightly crispy edges.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warmth and honey glaze in every bite.

Notes

  • Choose similar-sized sweet potato cubes for even cooking and consistent texture.
  • Flip the cubes halfway through roasting to ensure both sides caramelize evenly.
  • Use fresh cinnamon and thyme for maximum flavor impact.
  • Roast in a single layer to avoid steaming and achieve crisp edges.
  • Adjust the honey (natural) quantity to taste if you prefer a stronger caramel flavor.
