Classic Cinnamon Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes
When the crisp air of autumn settles in, there is nothing quite like the scent of Cinnamon Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes wafting through the house. These aren't your average roasted vegetables; they are thick, tender rounds glazed in a sticky, caramelized reduction of pure maple syrup and warm cinnamon.
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes cut into 1-inch rounds
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup walnuts roughly chopped
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the sweet potato rounds to the bowl and toss until thoroughly coated.
- Arrange the rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then carefully flip each round.
- Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the potatoes and return to the oven for another 10-13 minutes until tender and glazed.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving warm.
