# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This recipe transforms humble sweet potatoes into something that tastes like dessert but still fits perfectly into a healthy meal
  • The prep takes minutes and the oven does all the work leaving you free to handle the rest of dinner
02 -
  • Crowding the baking sheet is the fastest way to end up with steamed potatoes instead of roasted ones give them room to breathe
  • The honey can burn quickly so keep an eye on them during those last few minutes of roasting time
03 -
  • Use light colored honey like clover or wildflower for the most neutral sweet flavor that lets the cinnamon shine
  • Let the potatoes cool for just 5 minutes after roasting to let the caramelized bits set up slightly before serving
