Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into approximately 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, a dash of black pepper, and a dash of salt. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss the sweet potatoes until they are well-coated with the honey-oil-spice mixture.
Spread the coated sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure there is space between the pieces to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the sweet potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. You may want to stir or flip the sweet potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
After 25-30 minutes, check if the sweet potatoes are tender by poking them with a fork. If they are not tender enough, roast for an additional 5-10 minutes, checking periodically.
Once the sweet potatoes are tender and nicely roasted, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes for the best results.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- You can adjust the level of spices according to your preference.
- If you prefer a softer texture, cover the potatoes with foil for the first half of the roasting time.
- For extra crispiness, spread the sweet potato pieces out in a single layer without overlapping.
Roasted oriental sweet potatoes are not only a visually appealing dish but also a nutritious addition to any meal. By following these steps and tips, you'll create a flavorful and aromatic side dish that's sure to impress. Enjoy the sweet and spicy blend with your favorite main courses, and relish the compliments from your family and friends.
