garlic sweet potatoes with cinnamon honey

Ingredients:

  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon peel
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 8 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 4 pounds medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

Preheat oven to 325F degrees.  Brush 13×9-inch glass baking dish with melted butter.  Add to the remaining butter in a medium bowl the cinnamon, salt, lemon peel and honey.  Stir and set aside.

Place the sweet potatoes in the baking dish.  Drizzle with half of the honey mixture.  Stir to evenly coat potatoes.  Insert garlic cloves among the potato chunks.

Cover tightly with foil, then bake for 30 minutes.  Remove foil and spoon remaining honey mixture on top.  Cover again with foil and bake for 20 to 30 minutes longer (or until potatoes are tender).
