Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thick rounds.
Place the sweet potato rounds in a baking dish. Drizzle them with melted butter and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss gently to coat.
Arrange the slices in a single layer in the baking dish and roast for 25–30 minutes. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.
Carefully pour 1⁄2 cup of vegetable or chicken broth into the pan. Roast for another 15–20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.
In a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat. Stir in chili flakes, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until combined.
Drizzle the hot honey glaze over the roasted sweet potatoes and garnish with herbs, cheese, or nuts as desired. Serve warm.
