Ingredients

• 5 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch chunks (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 1/2 cup cranberry juice cocktail
• 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F (204C).
2. On a baking tray, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them in a single layer. Roast until golden and tender, about 3040 minutes.
3. While the potatoes roast, heat the cranberry juice in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer until reduced by half.
4. Stir the dark brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon into the reduced juice until melted and combined to form a glaze.
5. Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a large bowl, pour the cranberry glaze over them, and toss to coat evenly.
6. Serve on a platter and sprinkle with the toasted chopped almonds.
