Ingredients for 4 servings

500 g (17.75 oz) of sweet potatoes
1 sliced onion
1 leek cut into thin slices
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cinnamon
a pinch of nutmeg
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons olive oil
a bunch of flat parsley, finely chopped
some sliced almonds, lightly toasted for decoration

Step-by-step directions

Clean the sweet potatoes and cut them into medium-sized cubes.
Heat the oil in a sauté pan and brown the onions and leeks until they become translucent. Add the sweet potatoes and spices. Cook, stirring often. The sweet potatoes should cook but remain firm (test with a knife).
Add the honey 5 minutes before removing the pan from the heat, continuing to stir to caramelize the sweet potatoes.
Serve hot decorated with chopped parsley and toasted sliced almonds.
Bon appétit
