Ingredients

4 sweet potatoes (approx 2lb / 1kg)
2 tablespoons oil
½ cup honey (120ml)
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F / 200c and line a baking sheet with foil.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into cubes using a sharp knife.
Add the sweet potato cubes to a large bowl along with the rest of the ingredients. Toss well to combine.
Lay the sweet potatoes on the lined baking sheet in an even layer.
Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway, til fork tender.

Notes

Cut the potatoes as evenly as you can.
Be sure to line your baking sheet. As we use honey in this recipe it can make a bit of a mess on your baking sheet otherwise. If you don't line it, remove the potatoes from the sheet as soon as they are cooked so that they honey doesn't have time to cool and harden.
Bake the sweet potatoes in an even layer so that they roast evenly and flip halfway through cooking.
if you do have leftovers, they will keep well for a couple of days in the fridge and can be reheated at 400F / 200c for 10 minutes to warm through and crisp up.
