A simple recipe for sweet potatoes roasted with maple syrup for a caramelized exterior and tender interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  4. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time.
  5. The potatoes are done when they are tender when pierced with a fork and the edges are slightly caramelized.
  6. Serve immediately as a side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use a higher roasting temperature, like 425 degrees Fahrenheit, but watch closely to prevent burning the maple syrup.
  • You can substitute brown sugar for maple syrup, but adjust the oil slightly if the mixture seems too dry.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a sweet and spicy flavor profile.
