Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Posted by JasonQ in Side Dishes on November 10th, 2009
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
- 6 medium sweet potatoes, unpeeled, halved lengthwise
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 cinnamon sticks
Preheat the oven to 375.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and oil. Rub the potato halves with this mixture and season with salt and pepper. Arrange, skin side down, in a shallow baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to soften.
Remove the pan from the oven and turn the sweet potatoes skin side up. Tuck the cinnamon sticks under the potatoes. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes longer or until the potatoes are cooked through and the cinnamon sticks are slightly browned.
Serve the sweet potatoes on a round platter with the browned cinnamon sticks bunched together and standing upright in the center of the platter.
