Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ½ cup granola (your favorite variety)
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

How to Make Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Yogurt and Granola

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, ground cinnamon, and salt. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
3. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare your toppings. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey, if using, to add a touch of sweetness.
5. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
6. To serve, place a generous scoop of roasted sweet potatoes on a plate, top with a dollop of the honey yogurt, and sprinkle granola over the top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes for the best flavor and texture.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sweet potato mixture for a hint of heat.
• Ensure the sweet potatoes are spread out on the baking sheet to allow for even roasting.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative for a vegan option.
• Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch.
• Drizzle with maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetener.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled chicken or fish for a balanced meal.
• A simple green salad for a light lunch.
• Quinoa or rice for a wholesome grain side.
