Roasted Honey-lemon Sweet Potatoes

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 lbs sweet potatoes, cut into 1 1/2 inch irregular chunks
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Recipe

• 1 peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1 1/2-inch irregular chunks. the more edges they have, the better they will taste because each edge will become crispy from broiler.
• 2 parboil potato chunks in a large saucepan until they are softened, but not mushy. sometimes i prefer to steam them quickly instead, it's your choice. the potatoes need to be almost totally cooked, because they will only be crisped in your oven broiler.
• 3 while sweet potatoes are boiling or steaming, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, and honey in a large bowl.
• 4 set oven on low broil or set top broiler element to 450 degrees as soon as potatoes are added to mixture.
• 5 drain potatoes and toss with lemon/oil/honey mixture until totally coated. pour into a 9 by 13 baking dish. sprinkle with the sea salt, and roast under your oven's broiler setting on second-to-top rack of oven (not too close! use the rack about 3 inches down from broiler. broil until edges begin to brown.
• 6 you'll have to stand and keep an eye on them, this only takes a few minutes with a broiler. sometimes i rake them over once with a long handled spatula or turn them with silicone tongs.
• 7 remove from oven and serve immediately. warn everyone it's a hot plate!
