Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Recipe Link

Ingredients
2 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces and put in a 9 by 13 baking dish. In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, honey and lemon juice. Pour mixture over potatoes and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the salt, and bake, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, until potatoes are tender.

Notes: For the last 20 minutes I cooked on 400 degrees because I was baking chicken cutlets at the same time.  Also, I turned every 10 minutes so they didn't burn.  Can possibly use a little less honey.

Granola

I only made 1/2 the recipe- bc I wanted to test it out first.  Also, I didn't have parchment paper.

Cooked for about 30 minutes.

Next time I will add a little more honey or sugar.
