- 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup raw honey
- 1/4 cup smoky chipotle sauce
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Boil Sweet Potatoes: Place the diced sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling water. Boil for 5 minutes to slightly soften them. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare Glaze: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the 1 cup of raw honey, 1/4 cup of smoky chipotle sauce, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper until well combined.
- Coat Sweet Potatoes: Toss the boiled sweet potatoes in the glaze, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
- Bake: Spread the glazed sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
- Drizzle with Extra Honey: Once out of the oven, drizzle a little extra honey over the top for added sweetness.
- Serve: Serve warm as a side dish or a sweet and spicy treat.
