Notes
- Hot honey: Swap in hot honey if you like a little heat!
- Save some honey butter: Want extra for drizzling? Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the honey butter before you toss the potatoes.
- Air fryer: This recipe is written for the oven. For the air fryer, make my honey garlic sweet potato cubes in the air fryer.
- Storage: Let the sweet potatoes cool to room temperature before transferring them to an airtight container and storing in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or the air fryer to re-crisp the edges. The microwave will make them soft.
