# What You'll Need:

05 - Remove from oven and serve hot, garnished with extra cinnamon if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The edges get chewy and caramelized while the centers stay creamy soft
  • Everything comes together in one bowl and one sheet pan
  • The honey and cinnamon balance brings out the natural sweetness without being dessert sweet
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the quickest way to end up with steamed instead of roasted potatoes
  • The honey can burn if your oven runs hot, so keep an eye on them during the last few minutes
  • Stirring halfway through ensures all sides get that gorgeous caramelization
03 -
  • Room temperature sweet potatoes roast more evenly than cold ones from the fridge
  • Use a light colored baking sheet instead of dark to prevent the bottoms from burning before the tops caramelize
