Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice blend.
Add the chopped sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss until they're evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not crowded to allow them to roast properly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and lime juice to create a glaze.
After the sweet potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and drizzle the maple-lime glaze over the top. Toss gently to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the glazed sweet potatoes for a refreshing finish.
Serve warm as a main course or as a complement to other dishes. Enjoy your Sweet Sweet Potato Vegetarian!
