Roasted Sweet Potatoes
These sweet potatoes are perfect as a side dish for the fall, and for your thanksgiving table. This recipe is not only easy, it happens to be only four ingredients which you probably have on hand.
Ingredients
- 2 peeled and cubed sweet potatoes make sure the cubes are more or less the same size
- drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
- pinch of salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- sprig of thyme or rosemary is optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 425F. Wash, peel, and cube the sweet potatoes. I used two medium sweet potatoes but you can use as much as you like. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Season with salt, add the olive oil, maple syrup, and optionally thyme or rosemary. Both of these herbs will work beautifully in this recipe.
- Massage everything with your hands and bake for 35-45 minutes depending on the oven. The timing will depend on the type of oven you have, mine is much weaker and older and it does take a bit longer. Be sure to check…
Notes
Be sure to check on them as the cook time will depend on the oven and how you cut them as well.
You can cut them into cubes by cutting the sweet potato in half, those halves in half, and cutting it into cubes. You can also cut the sweet potato into circles or any way you enjoy. The most important part is that you try to cut them more or less the same size so that they cook evenly
This recipe works perfectly with Delicata squash, butternut squash, or any other squash or pumpkin you enjoy.
I recommend these to be made the same day as they are best served fresh and warm. You can make them the night before and re-heat them the following day, but they will never be AS good as the first day.
