Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the sweet potato cubes into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and toss gently to coat the cubes evenly.
Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon over the potatoes. Toss again to distribute the seasonings.
Add the maple syrup to the bowl and toss one more time to ensure every cube is coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer without overcrowding.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the pan and use a spatula to flip the sweet potatoes to promote even browning.
Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, chop the fresh rosemary finely.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the top while still hot.
Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.
