How to Make Oven Roasted Spicy Sweet Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large roasting pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Peel and chop 2 pounds of sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss the sweet potatoes with the butter/honey/spice mixture until evenly coated. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer in the prepared roasting pan.
- Roast for 25 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven, gently stir the sweet potatoes to redistribute the mixture, and ensure all pieces are coated.
- Return to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. If they are browning too quickly, reduce oven temperature slightly.
