🍁 Cinnamon Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes – The Perfect Cozy Side Dish


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 2 lbs (900g) sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (1-inch pieces)
• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil
• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• ½ tsp salt
• Optional: pinch of cayenne for heat


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cayenne (if using) until evenly coated.
  3. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet—don’t overcrowd (use two sheets if needed).
  4. Roast 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized at the edges.
  5. Serve warm as a side dish or over greens for a hearty salad!

Perfect pairings:
• Roast chicken or turkey
• Baked ham or pork chops
• Grain bowls with quinoa and kale

💡 Make ahead: Roast and store in the fridge up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
