Ingredients
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning them halfway through with a spatula until the edges are crispy and the centers are tender.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to regain crispiness. For a savory twist, add smoked paprika. For added crunch, stir in half a cup of chopped pecans during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
