Description
Sweet, carmalized, and lightly herby – a simple side that dresses up weeknight dinners or holiday plates. This version uses just a few ingredients and roasts to create the perfect caramelization.
Ingredients
- 2 large – Sweet potatoes or 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons – Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons – Pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon – Fresh rosemary
- Flake salt (Optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes so they cook evenly. Leaving the skins on is fine if preferred.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes, 2 Tbsp of olive oil, 2 Tbsp maple syrup, chopped rosemary (or dried), and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until every cube is lightly coated.
3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet (don’t overcrowd).
4. Roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the potatoes are tender inside and nicely caramelized on the edges. Start checking at 10-15 minutes. Oven times vary.
5. Remove from oven, taste and adjust seasoning (a sprinkle of flaky salt is great). Let rest 2-3 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
Pair with roast chicken, pork tenderloin, or grilled salmon.
Add to a fall grain bowl with kale, quinoa, toasted nuts, and a drizzle of maple-dijon dressing.
