Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Season the Sweet Potatoes

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, soy sauce, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and liquid smoke. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Sweet Potatoes

    Spread the coated sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are in a single layer to allow for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Finish Baking

    For the last 5 minutes of baking, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C) to develop a bit of a char. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These sweet potato burnt ends can be served as a side dish or tossed in salads and grain bowls.
