Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces for even roasting. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Pour the maple Dijon glaze over them and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread the glazed sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not crowded to allow for proper roasting.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and caramelized around the edges.
- Test the potatoes with a fork to ensure they are tender. If needed, roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Serving
- Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme if desired, and serve immediately.
Storage
- Allow any leftovers to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
