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.

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.
