Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Coconut

Linda Etherton

Roastd Sweet Potatoes with Coconut

My husband doesn’t like sweet potatoes, so I made these recently when he was out of town.  They are so good.  If you like sweet potatoes at all, you will love these roasted sweet potatoes with coconut, a bit of honey, and cinnamon.

My picky eater tried them and said, “I’m still not a fan of sweet potatoes, but as far as sweet potatoes go, these are really good!”

    These were awesome. Made them wo cinnamon as I am allergic to it, and they were still very good.

      I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sharon! Cinnamon is a nice touch, but not necessary as you learned. Just the coconut and honey combined with the sweet potatoes is great.

      I haven’t tried reheating them. I think they would definitely be better freshly roasted.
