Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Try to keep the pieces uniform for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the glaze.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss them in the glaze until evenly coated.
Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even caramelization.
Once the sweet potatoes are tender and have a golden-brown glaze, remove them from the oven.
Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for an herbaceous touch before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
