Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider, olive oil, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the cider mixture over the sweet potato cubes in the large bowl. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded to ensure even roasting.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the sweet potatoes for added flavor.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the cider glaze to set slightly.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy the sweet, savory, and slightly tangy flavors!
