Equipment
- Large rimmed baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Large mixing bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Olive Oil and Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Toss the ingredients thoroughly until every cube is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the sweet potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring there is space between the pieces so they roast rather than steam.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the maple syrup over the sweet potatoes. Use a spatula to toss them gently until the syrup is distributed.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly charred and caramelized and the centers are fork-tender.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving to let the glaze set.
