Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk together the butter, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl.
  3. Place the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the sheet pan, then pour the maple butter mixture over the top.
  4. Use a spoon or your hands to toss the sweet potatoes in the butter to coat them evenly.
  5. Bake for 35 minutes, stirring once halfway through the bake time. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • I look for long, thin sweet potatoes because I find that they’re easier to cut into similar sized pieces.
  • Don’t forget to stir your sweet potatoes halfway through the baking time so that they cook evenly and don’t burn.
