📋 Ingredients:

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes 🍠
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil 🛢️
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup 🍁
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🌿
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional) 🌿
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional) 🌰

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

  1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  1. Season the sweet potatoes:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss the mixture well to ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

2. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:

  1. Spread on the baking sheet:
  • Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded. This helps them roast evenly and become caramelized.
  1. Roast in the oven:
  • Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown on the edges.

3. Add the Pecans (Optional):

  1. Toast the pecans:
  • In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the sweet potatoes to toast them lightly.

4. Serve:

  1. Transfer and serve:
  • Transfer the Cinnamon Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes to a serving dish. Drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired and serve hot.
