Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Try to keep the pieces uniform for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the glaze.
Step 4
Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss them in the glaze until evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even caramelization.
Step 7
Once the sweet potatoes are tender and have a golden-brown glaze, remove them from the oven.
Step 8
Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for an herbaceous touch before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
