I was looking for a sweet potato side dish for my chipotle and maple turkey meatballs and headed straight to Pinterest. I’ve lost a good portion of my life to Pinterest… but anyway…I found these sweet potatoes at http://www.bunsinmyoven.com/ they looked simple and I thought the honey and cinnamon would pair well with the chipotle and maple in the meatballs. I was not mistaken, these potatoes go amazingly well with them, I had them for supper tonight and I am going to have them for lunch again one day this week. The outside of the roasted potatoes are a little crunchy and carmalized with the honey and cinnamon and creamy inside, they are delicious! You can find the original recipe here: http://www.bunsinmyoven.com/2013/11/11/honey-cinnamon-roasted-sweet-potatoes/. These would be great as a Thanksgiving side dish also. And they are really healthy. I calculated this recipe to make about 3 servings (I used small to medium sweet potatoes) but kept all other ingredients the same.
