Description

These Roasted Maple Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and naturally sweet with warm fall spices. They’re an easy, healthy side dish perfect for weeknights, holidays, or cozy autumn meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

  • Optional: ⅓ cup chopped pecans for added crunch


Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes for even roasting.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, and sea salt.

  • Add the sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss until each piece is fully coated.

  • Spread the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer to prevent steaming.

  • Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and crisp.

  • (Optional) Add pecans in the last 10 minutes of roasting for a toasted crunch.

  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the pan.

Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for deeper fall flavor.

Leftovers reheat best in an air fryer or oven.
