Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the sweet potatoes cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. If desired, peel them, then cut into bite-sized cubes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Season the Sweet Potatoes

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes

    Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.

  3. 5

    Add Maple Syrup

    Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and drizzle with maple syrup. Toss to coat and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve and Garnish

    Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish. If desired, top with chopped pecans, mini marshmallows, and fresh herbs for added flavor and texture.
