2 pounds sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons olive oil
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter (optional, for finishing)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, and salt until fully coated.
4. Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
5. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure caramelized, crispy edges.
6. Optionally, drizzle with melted butter after roasting for extra richness.
7. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
Use orange-fleshed sweet potatoes like Beauregard or Garnet for the best texture.
Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
Customize with chopped pecans or dried cranberries for extra flair.
