Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well blended.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the sweet potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded to allow for proper caramelization.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the sheet and flip the potatoes using a spatula to ensure even browning.
Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a serving dish.
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your 'All Time Best Sweet Potatoes' as a side dish to any meal!
