Maple Glazed Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the maple syrup from sticking and to make cleanup a breeze.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. 3

   Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the bowl. Toss them thoroughly with a spatula or your hands until every piece is evenly coated in the maple mixture.

4. 4

   Spread the sweet potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they aren't overcrowded; if they are too close together, they will steam instead of roast.

5. 5

   Place the pan in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, use a spatula to flip the potatoes to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.

6. 6

   The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender and the edges are beautifully browned and caramelized. Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot.
