Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes, ensuring uniform sizes for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth to create the glaze.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the glaze.
Spread the glazed sweet potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded to encourage caramelization.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through to ensure even cooking.
The sweet potatoes are done when they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
