Ingredients
- 4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 2 large red onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 bag baby spinach (between 10 ounces and 16 ounces), soaked, well-rinsed and dried
Directions
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, season potatoes with salt and pepper and toss with oil to coat. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove briefly from oven and toss in onions, and return to oven to roast until potatoes are tender, approximately another 20 minutes. Transfer roasted potato mixture to a bowl. Drizzle honey over potatoes, add butter, mixing well, and then gently toss in spinach. The heat from the potatoes will wilt the spinach.

Others have noted, the cooking time is not right for "quartered" sweet potatoes. They will be nowhere near done after 40 minutes at 350F. Either dice them, use more heat, or much longer. I roast sweet potatoes often and a hot oven at 400 to 450F works much better and is what most recipes would specify. Others also noted adding some pecans; I had the same idea. Another twist is a small amount of nutmeg, it compliments both ingredients well.

This recipe was great! I hate to say it but I did make some adjustments. I only used 1 sweet potato and instead of quartered, I diced it. Also, I used maybe a handful of baby spinach. The only issue I ran into was that a good bit of my red onion burned. I'm assuming its because of how finely I chopped them. Next time I think I may wait and add the onions in the last 10 minutes or so. The spinach didn't wilt down quite the way I imagined, which I would probably attribute to the size and amount of potatoes I had to create heat. Either way, this is a recipe that I will definitely be making again, just in the right proportions to get the full effect!
