Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2.0 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.0 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • None Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1.0 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 2.0 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1.0 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 0.25 cup chopped green onions

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  • Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 27.5 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway through.
  • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, combine honey and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in fresh thyme.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, take them out of the oven and drizzle the honey-butter mixture over them. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top.
  • Switch the oven to broil. Place the sweet potatoes back in the oven for an additional 2.5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving warm.
