Picking the Best Sweet Potatoes for Roasting

Want those perfect golden, crispy edges with a soft, pillowy interior? Here's how to pick the best sweet potatoes:

Opt for orange or red varieties like Red Garnet or Jewel—they're ideal for roasting thanks to their higher moisture content.

Look for firm, blemish-free sweet potatoes with smooth skin for the best texture and taste.

How to Cut Sweet Potatoes into Cubes (Without the Drama)

Peel: Use a vegetable peeler to get that smooth surface—or leave the skins on if you love the extra fiber and texture.
Stabilize: Cut a small slice off one side to create a flat, stable base.
Cube: Slice into ½-inch rounds, then cut those into uniform cubes to ensure even roasting.

How to Make These Honey Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potato Cubes

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Mix the Magic
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until it's all combined into a luscious coating. Toss the sweet potato cubes in this mixture until every piece is generously coated.
Roast to Perfection
Spread the sweet potatoes into a single layer on your baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through to get that beautiful caramelization on all sides. The sweet potatoes should be fork-tender and have a golden, crispy edge.
Serve & Enjoy
Let the roasted cubes cool slightly. Serve warm for the perfect balance of crispy and tender bites.

Tips for the Best Roasted Sweet Potatoes

✔ Parchment Paper – This not only prevents sticking but makes cleanup a breeze.
✔ Don’t Overcrowd the Pan – Keep the sweet potatoes in a single layer for even roasting (no steaming allowed!).
✔ Flip Halfway – Stir once during roasting for perfectly caramelized edges.
✔ Adjust Cooking Time – Roasting times can vary based on cube size and sweet potato variety. Test with a fork to check for tenderness.

Delicious Variations to Try

✨ Sweet Variations:

Swap honey for maple syrup and add chopped pecans for a nutty twist.

Brown sugar + nutmeg adds a rich, holiday-inspired flavor.

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar during the last 5 minutes of roasting for an extra sweet touch.

🌿 Savory Variations:

Garlic and rosemary for a fragrant, savory version.

Toss in some grated Parmesan and black pepper for a cheesy twist.

🌶️ Spicy Variations:

Cajun seasoning for a bold kick.

Mix chili powder with smoked paprika for deep, smoky heat.

Drizzle with hot honey after roasting for that spicy-sweet contrast.
