Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes

If you have a few sweet potatoes around the house, this couldn't be a simpler way to cook them up.  Pretty yummy if you ask me....

3 large sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs), peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
2 TBSP olive oil
2 TBSP honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Place the potatoes in a 9x13 inch baking dish.  In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, and lemon juice.  Pour the mixture over potatoes and toss to coat.  Sprinkle with salt, and bake, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.  Season with more salt to taste and serve.
