Honey on Sweet Potatoes? Yes!
Some people would call this a side dish. I call it a meal. And one of my favorites. You can’t go wrong with warm sweet potatoes that are soft and tender in the middle and lightly crisped and caramelized on the outside. I roasted them with a marinade of honey, coconut oil, and cinnamon. It’s a heavenly-scented combo. I can eat a tray full of these potatoes on their own but with the cinnamon dipping sauce, they’re totally irresistible. It’s a simple combo of Greek yogurt (or sour cream), honey, and cinnamon, and it’s so creamy and loaded with flavor. The honey and cinnamon in the dip help accentuate the honey and cinnamon on the potatoes. Can you tell how much I love these ingredients? It’s also a great dip for apples, most any fruit, or crackers. I want the dip on everything. As much as I love the potatoes, I’d be happy with just a spoon and the dip.
Ingredients for Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes
To make these roasted honey cinnamon sweet potatoes, you’ll need the following basic ingredients:
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes Honey Coconut oil – Please note that the roasted diced sweet potatoes don’t taste overtly coconutty. Rather, coconut oil adds a nearly imperceptible undertone that’s sweeter and more fragrant than canola or vegetable oil, but you can substitute with them if you’d like Ground cinnamon – I wanted the cinnamon flavor to shine on its own, but adding pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, ginger, or allspice in addition to the cinnamon would be lovely Salt and pepper
Cinnamon Dipping Sauce
Greek yogurt Honey – If honey isn’t your favorite or you’d like to keep these roasted sweet potato chunks vegan, you can likely use pure maple syrup in place of the honey Ground cinnamon
