Sweet roasted camote is a delightful and healthy twist to the classic side dish. This recipe takes the humble camote or sweet potato and elevates it with a combination of sweet and savory flavors. The natural sweetness of the camote is enhanced by a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon, while the addition of olive oil and sea salt adds a savory touch. Roasting the camote brings out its natural flavors and creates a caramelized exterior that is both crispy and tender. Serve this delicious side dish with your favorite main course for a complete and satisfying meal.
