# Ingredients:
01 -
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
02 -
3 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
1 tablespoon maple syrup
04 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 -
½ teaspoon sea salt
07 -
¼ teaspoon black pepper
08 -
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
09 -
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for drizzling)
10 -
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed sweet potatoes. Drizzle the olive oil and maple syrup over the sweet potatoes.
03 -
Sprinkle the cinnamon, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and rosemary on top. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are well-coated in the oil and spices.
04 -
Transfer the seasoned sweet potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them into a single layer, leaving some space between the cubes for even roasting.
05 -
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning the sweet potatoes halfway through to ensure they brown evenly. They should be tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
06 -
If using balsamic vinegar, drizzle it over the roasted sweet potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting for an extra layer of flavor.
07 -
Once done, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
