We love Middle Eastern and Indian food in our house, but if you don’t, this is a great intro recipe!

Preheat oven to 425°. 

 

On a sheet pan, rub chicken breasts with olive oil.  Top with honey, garlic, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and salt.

 

Add the sweet potatoes to the pan in a single layer, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
