4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 big sweet potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
- ½ c honey
- ¼ c olive oil
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey or more, if you want it a bit sweeter!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with ½ cup of honey and the olive oil until every piece is well-coated. Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure to drizzle any leftover honey-oil mixture on top for extra flavor.
- Pop the potatoes into the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until they’re tender and golden. Allow them to hang out on the baking sheet for roughly 5-10 minutes to chill down a bit. Once they’ve cooled a bit, sprinkle them with cinnamon. Finally, move the sweet potatoes to your dishes and drizzle with the remaining honey. Enjoy!
Notes
The best part about this recipe? It’s already gluten-free! You don’t need to worry about any swaps here—just make sure your honey and cinnamon are gluten-free (most are, but it’s always good to double-check). If you’re cooking for someone with a gluten allergy, just be sure to check that your olive oil and seasonings don’t have any cross-contamination risks. Other than that, you’re good to go! These sweet potatoes are the perfect side dish for everyone, no matter their diet.
