Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 whole (plus 1 tablespoon of adobo sauce) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon (divided) kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, finely chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, smoked paprika, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, adjusting seasoning to taste if needed.
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve warm and enjoy!
