    HOW TO MAKE MAPLE CINNAMON ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

    Sweet Potatoes - These are the darker sweet potatoes with the orange/brown skin.

    Olive Oil - I use extra-virgin olive oil to avoid that heavy olive taste that regular olive oil has.

    Pure Maple Syrup - This is not pancake syrup. It costs a bit more but it's necessary in this recipe. Use leftovers to make my maple pumpkin pie or these maple glazed pumpkin muffins. 

    Salt & Pepper

    Ground Nutmeg

    Ground Cinnamon

    MY TIPS FOR ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

    - If you are wanting to double the recipe then use two different cookie sheet pans. I would suggest not trying to stick a double recipe on one pan because you don't want them touching at all while they are baking. 

    - Make sure the potatoes are not touching (as best as you can) when you spread them on the pan. You don't want to steam the potatoes, you want them separated so each side can get that crispy charred exterior.

    - Depending on how small or large you cut the potatoes will determine the cook time. I cut them into larger bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch big. 

    - I would suggest using extra-virgin olive oil as it does not have that heavy olive taste to it.

        It's great for a Thanksgiving side dish. A bit healthier compared to traditional sweet potato casseroles. Or, I usually serve it with baked chicken or steak. I don't make steak a lot but it would go great with these potatoes. I actually make them for lunch lot of times too, but I LOVE sweet potatoes so I'll eat them whenever. I hope you enjoy!

      I made these tonight to serve with beef roast we made. I realized at the last minute that We were out of pure maple syrup so I used 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to give them that carmelized taste & they were delicious. Can’t wait to make this with the maple syrup!

      made a trial run prior to Christmas as this is the dish Im bringing. This is the first time learning to not let the sweet potatoes touch while roasting. I've always crowded them on the baking sheet and thy turn out too mushy. Now I know why. This recipe turned out great. I do have a short drive but Im sure it will be great and well received. Thanks for sharing!

      Hi - I bought both white and orange sweet potatoes (2 of each) and I'm just going to mix them together for this recipe. I'm wondering if I can cut them up, put them in a bowl, add the oil, syrup and spices (I won't double the spices even though I'm doubling the recipe as I've had that experience with other recipes before and doubling the spices can overwhelm the main ingredient) and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 17 hours, then in a cooler for another 3 hours, then bake them in about 20 hours from now (total marinating time 20 hours). I'm going out of state for Thanksgiving and want to bake them at my destination but wondering if it would be better to bake them first and reheat them when I get there. Do you have any advice? Thanks!

      Hi Nancy 🙂 I hope I am not too late in my reply. I would definitely cut them up and let them marinate in the oil and spices while you travel. I don't think these would be good if you cooked first and then reheated. I had leftovers of these when I made them and I kept them in the fridge for my husband's lunch the next day and they were kind of "wrinkly" looking and soft (they will loose that really crisp outside). If that makes sense at all 🙂 I think they would be fine sitting in the bowl, cut up, with the oil and spices. I hope you love them! Happy Thanksgiving.
