Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather all your ingredients while the oven heats up.
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then chop them into uniform 1-inch cubes. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, melted butter, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest until coated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for even roasting.
  4. Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking.
