Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Honey, Herbs, and Spices
Ingredients:
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional for extra warmth)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh thyme or rosemary, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon Nigella seeds (optional, for a unique nutty flavor)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, honey, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon (if using), salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread on the baking sheet: Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until they’re tender and caramelized around the edges.
- Finish with Nigella seeds and herbs: Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with Nigella seeds for a nutty twist and garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the roasted sweet potatoes as a side dish, or even as a light meal with a dipping sauce like yogurt or tahini.
