One of my favourite sweet potato recipes that I make this time of year. With a touch of honey and cinnamon for added flavour, who wouldnt want to try these with their Christmas dinner this year!
The sweet potatoes are coated with a mixture of olive oil, honey, cinnamon, salt and pepper. I quickly toss them in a pan with butter to add a little colour before roasting them in the oven. I dont peel them, just give them a good wash, and dry them before coating them. cut them into even size pieces, I tend to keep mine quite chunky
