Honey Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are awesome. I love them. I was never much of a vegetable eating person, but I'm starting to find veggie recipes that are totally changing my opinion.  Like sautéed zucchini.  Not only are sweet potatoes one of the healthiest foods (according to the The George Mateljan Foundation), with tons of protein and vitamins, but they also can taste like candy :)

I posted my mom's recipe for sweet potato soufflé a few weeks ago, which is absolutely delicious........ But it's also packed with a lot of sugars and butter and other less than healthy ingredients... This recipe is a healthier option, its just as tasty, and it is even quicker and easier to prepare.

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Adapted from: Buns in my Oven

Serves Four

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: like 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
• 3 Tbsp honey
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with tinfoil and spray lightly with cooking spray (definitely helps with clean-up).

In a large bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Add the sweet potatoes and toss to coat.

Spread the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
