Ingredients
  

Main
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl
  • Knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and a good surface area for caramelization.
Roasting
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, and salt, mixing well until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  2. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan for optimal roasting.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cayenne pepper before roasting. These sweet potatoes are great as a side dish or even as a topping for salads and grain bowls.
