Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chipotle powder, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and maple syrup. Stir until well blended.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven once they are tender and have slightly caramelized edges.
Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish and enjoy!
