2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces 6 tablespoons butter melted 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
Whisk together the butter, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl.
Place the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the sheet pan, then pour the maple butter mixture over the top.
Use a spoon or your hands to toss the sweet potatoes in the butter to coat them evenly.
Bake for 35 minutes, stirring once halfway through the bake time. Serve immediately.
I look for long, thin sweet potatoes because I find that they’re easier to cut into similar sized pieces.
Don’t forget to stir your sweet potatoes halfway through the baking time so that they cook evenly and don’t burn.
