How to Make Oven Roasted Spicy Sweet Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large roasting pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer in the prepared roasting pan.
  5. Roast for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven, gently stir the sweet potatoes to redistribute the mixture, and ensure all pieces are coated.
  7. 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.
