Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Spread the cubed sweet potatoes onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, melt the butter, then mix in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes, tossing them gently to coat.
Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Remove them from the heat and roughly chop.
Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Top the sweet potatoes with the dried cranberries and toasted walnuts.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the dish and gently toss everything together to combine.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cranberry Walnut Sweet Potatoes!
