Dietary Adjustments

To keep the dish gluten‑free, simply ensure any added spices are certified gluten‑free. For a keto‑friendly twist, reduce the honey to a teaspoon and substitute with a low‑carb sweetener such as erythritol, then serve over cauliflower rice instead of grain‑based sides.

Serving Suggestions

Pair the golden potatoes with poached eggs for a classic brunch plate, or serve alongside smoked salmon and cream cheese on toasted bagels. They also make a hearty side for a weekend brunch casserole or a light accompaniment to a fresh arugula salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1‑inch cubes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey, preferably raw

Seasonings

1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more for finishing
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh Finish

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Optional: pinch of red‑pepper flakes for subtle heat

Instructions

Roasting to Perfection

Initial Roast. Place the sheet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. After this time, use a spatula to flip each cube, exposing the untouched sides to the heat and promoting even caramelization.
Second Roast. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting for another 12‑15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside (a fork should slide in with little resistance) and the edges are deep golden‑brown.
Final Glaze. In the last 3 minutes, sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves and, if desired, a pinch of red‑pepper flakes. This brief exposure preserves the herb’s bright flavor while allowing the glaze to set.
