Ingredients
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons crispy turkey bacon bits (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Carefully dice the peeled sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and maple syrup until thoroughly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through with a spatula to ensure even caramelization.
Remove from the oven once fork-tender and serve warm, topping with crispy turkey bacon bits if desired.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best results, reheat in an oven at 350°F to restore the crispiness of the caramelization. Ensure all potato cubes are cut to the same size for even cooking.
