Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes

These honey roasted sweet potatoes make a perfect side dish. Sweet potatoes are not only tasty but also nutritious and healthy. I have been enjoying roasted vegetables lately, like roasted potato bites with rosemary. And this one is my new favorite. About 3/4 cup full of these potatoes have about 167 calories.

Adapted from Food Network

Ingredients:

2 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (or yam)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces and put in a 9 by 13 baking dish. In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, honey and lemon juice. Pour mixture over potatoes and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the salt, and bake, stirring occasionally, for about 45 minute to 1 hour, until potatoes are tender.

  16. I find myself substituting sweet potatoes for white potatoes often because they are healthier.

    Thursday I made a roasted three potato salad using roasted white, red and sweet potatoes so I chuckled when I saw this post. Great pics!
