Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into approximately 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the mixture.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
While the sweet potatoes are cooling, chop the fresh parsley finely.
Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish and drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a main course salad component.
