Honey-Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Why Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes?

Honey-roasted sweet potatoes are a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors. The honey adds a natural sweetness that caramelizes during roasting, while the olive oil and seasonings enhance the flavor and texture. They make a great side dish for holiday meals, weeknight dinners, or even as part of a healthy meal prep routine.

Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes make a delicious and easy side dish. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

• 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
3. Preheat Skillet: Place a cast iron skillet on a grill grate over your campfire or a camping stove. Allow it to preheat.
4. Cook Sweet Potatoes: Add the coated sweet potatoes to the preheated skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
5. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Tips for Perfect Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes:

1. Uniform Size: Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking. About 1-inch cubes are ideal.
2. Prep at Home: If possible, prep the sweet potatoes and mix the ingredients at home. Store them in a sealed container or zip-top bag to make cooking at the campsite easier.
3. Non-Stick Spray: Use non-stick spray on the foil or skillet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier
4. Even Cooking: For even cooking, try to cut the sweet potatoes into uniform sizes and stir occasionally.
