Cubinhos de batata-doce assada

Ingredientes

• 2 lbs sweet potatoes (about 2 large) (peeled and cut into 1" cubes)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter ((or olive oil))
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup ((optional))
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• salt & pepper to taste

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400° F (204° C) with the rack positioned at the bottom of the oven to promote browning.

2. 2

   Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. You can do this directly on the sheet pan, but it's easier in a bowl.

3. 3

   Spread evenly onto a parchment paper lined half-sheet pan or 13x9" baking dish, giving the cubes space to brown.

4. 4

   Place in the oven and roast for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are softened and getting crisp. Stir halfway through to promote even browning. Taste and season with more salt as needed.
