roasted sweet potatoes with honey!

Okay! i'm back! Pregnancy sure does mess with your desire to cook and eat! I'm back to wanting to eat healthy again and have deleted some recipes and will begin adding more soon!

This one comes from the referral of a friend Laurin. It's on the Food Network Site (Tyler Florence) and i'm making it tonight for the third time! So easy, simple and yum.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Honey! (link here)

Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling potatoes after cooked
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Lay the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a roasting tray. Drizzle the oil, honey, cinnamon, salt and pepper over the potatoes. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes in oven or until tender.

Take sweet potatoes out of the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle with more extra-virgin olive oil.
