Ingredients
→ Vegetables:
2½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
→ Dairy:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
→ Sweeteners and Spices:
¼ cup pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon kosher salt
→ Preparation:
Cooking spray or neutral oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a sheet pan with cooking spray or a thin layer of neutral oil.
Arrange the sweet potato cubes in a single, even layer on the pan (do not overlap).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and kosher salt until fully blended.
Pour the maple butter mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes. Toss gently to coat each piece thoroughly.
Bake for 35 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even caramelization.
Once tender and golden with crisp edges, remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan — spacing the potatoes allows for even browning and caramelization.
Optional add-ins: Try a sprinkle of chopped pecans or a drizzle of extra maple syrup before serving for added texture and sweetness.
Best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes.
