The holiday season is upon us and that means it’s time to load up on all of the delicious side dish recipes! While the main dish gets most of the love at Thanksgiving or holiday meals, I’m all about the sides!

From Creamed Corn to Sweet Potato Stuffing, I’m obsessed with delicious side dishes. While Sweet Potato Casserole is a classic holiday side dish, this year I invite you to switch it up with these Honey Glazed Sweet Potatoes.

They have everything you love about sweet potato casserole. They’re sweet, scrumptious and packed with fall flavors! But they’re also healthy!

Sweet potatoes are packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals. And they’re tossed with coconut oil, which not only tastes great, but is also a healthy fat, and a great dairy-free alternative to cooking with butter.

In addition to being totally tasty and healthy, these roasted sweet potatoes are easy to make! It only takes 5 minutes to prep the sweet potatoes and 15 minutes to roast them. While I’m excited to serve these sweet potatoes at my Thanksgiving feast, I’m most excited that I can serve them year-round! This super simple side dish is easy enough to whip up for a weeknight dinner anytime.

Step by step instructions

It only takes three simple steps to make these incredible oven roasted sweet potatoes!

  1. Prep the sweet potatoes & preheat the oven. Wash, peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Season the sweet potatoes. Add the sweet potatoes to a large bowl with the melted coconut oil, honey, ground cinnamon, salt and pepper. Toss to coat the diced sweet potatoes.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes. Arrange the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
    • Quick Tip! Be sure to roast the sweet potatoes on parchment paper. The honey will caramelize around the sweet potatoes as they roast and without the parchment paper, the potatoes will stick right to the sheet pan and leave you with a sticky mess!
