Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until every piece is thinly coated.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring at least a half-inch of space between cubes.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes, then remove the pan and flip the cubes with a spatula.
  6. Return to the oven for another 20 minutes or until the edges are mahogany-colored and the centers are fork-tender.
  7. While the potatoes are hot, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Toss gently to glaze.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
