Deliciously tender and caramelized maple glazed sweet potatoes, roasted to perfection with a blend of maple syrup, cinnamon, and butter or coconut oil. A perfect side dish for any meal that combines natural sweetness with warm spices.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), peeled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.
  2. Prepare sweet potatoes: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces approximately 1 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
  3. Melt fat: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter or coconut oil until fully liquid to combine easily with other ingredients.
  4. Mix glaze: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter or coconut oil, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper (if using). Stir until the mixture is well blended.
  5. Coat potatoes: Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the glaze.
  6. Roast sweet potatoes: Spread the coated sweet potatoes evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure even caramelization and tenderness.
  7. Check doneness: Bake until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and caramelized on the edges, then remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces to promote even cooking.
  • Flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through roasting helps achieve an even caramelized texture.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or nutmeg to the glaze.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats or as a standalone vegetarian side.
