Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into 1-inch cubes, keeping the skin on if you prefer added texture and nutrients.
  2. Season Sweet Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange for Roasting: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes out in a single layer to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  4. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C). Roast the sweet potatoes for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and caramelization.
  5. Add Sweet Finish: Once roasted, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and optionally drizzle with maple syrup just before serving to add an extra layer of natural sweetness.

Notes

  • Leaving the skin on the sweet potatoes adds nutritional value and texture.
  • Flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through roasting ensures even cooking and browning.
  • Maple syrup is optional but recommended for added sweetness and flavor depth.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats or as part of a vegan or vegetarian meal.
