Tuesday's Healthy Recipe

Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes

These delicious potatoes are easy to make and full of nutrients. They are also lower in starch and carbs than white potatoes, and make an excellent, easy side dish for a weeknight meal or for entertaining. One of my favorite Go To recipes. Courtesy of Ellie Krieger on foodtv.com


2 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces and put in a 9 by 13 bakingdish. In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, honey and lemon juice. Pour mixture over potatoes and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the salt, and bake, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, until potatoes are tender.
