Thanksgiving side dishes can be tough recipes to decide on. I’ll help with the decision making for you with these Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Honey and Cinnamon – they are a must on your dinner table!

When I think of sweet potato on Thanksgiving I think of the popular Thanksgiving dish that is the casserole type with marshmallows smothered on top.

I’m going to be honest with you, I’ve never been a fan of sweet potatoes made with marshmallows!

Call me crazy but I just never could get on board with the marshmallows and sweet potato combination.

That’s why I made these roasted sweet potatoes and sweetened them up a bit with honey. They caramelize so well in the oven they taste like pieces of candy! 

Sweet potatoes are a staple of many holiday dishes which is great because they are packed with nutrients.

You can make this root vegetable with fewer calories and plenty of flavor by making this recipe. I use honey to sweeten the potatoes and my secret is using pumpkin pie spice – SO good!

You can even add in some fresh thyme or rosemary once you take the sweet potatoes out of the oven to add a fresh fragrant aroma to this side dish.

 I just love the simplicity of these and know you will too!

If we want to talk nutrition, sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin C and a good source of fiber and potassium. All great nutrients to keep your Thanksgiving meal balanced.

Notes

Optional meringue from Food & Wine: Whisk together 4 egg whites and 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar in a bowl from a stand mixer over a saucepan of simmering water until just warm, 1-2 minutes. Transfer bowl to stand mixer with whisk attachment. Add 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar; beat on medium high speed until foamy. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup granulated sugar until whites are stiff and glossy (3 minutes). Spread meringue on potatoes using the back of a spoon. Broil or use a blow torch until meringue is golden.
