Description
Garlic Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes are a deliciously sweet and savory side dish featuring tender, cubed sweet potatoes glazed with a buttery mixture of honey and garlic, enhanced with aromatic rosemary and perfectly roasted to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Glaze
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons honey
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375˚F (190˚C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting once your sweet potatoes are prepared.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces, then transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out to prepare for seasoning.
- Make the Glaze: Melt the butter in a small bowl, then whisk in the minced garlic and honey until well combined. This mixture will create a sweet, garlicky glaze for the potatoes.
- Season the Sweet Potatoes: Drizzle the butter, honey, and garlic mixture evenly over the cubed sweet potatoes. Sprinkle the dried rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then toss everything gently to ensure all the potato cubes are coated well.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until they become tender and golden, turning halfway through if desired for even cooking.
- Final Seasoning: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, taste, and adjust salt and pepper if needed to enhance the flavor.
- Serve: Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy this flavorful, comforting side dish warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the sweet potatoes are cut into uniform sizes.
- You can substitute fresh rosemary for dried rosemary if available; use about 1 tablespoon fresh, finely chopped.
- Adjust the honey amount based on your preference for sweetness.
- For a vegan option, substitute butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter alternative.
- Roasting time may vary slightly depending on your oven and the size of the sweet potato cubes.
