Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the cranberry glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberry sauce, maple syrup, chopped fresh rosemary, and orange zest.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Drizzle the warm cranberry glaze over the roasted sweet potatoes, tossing gently to combine and coat evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra rosemary if desired.
