Roasted Sweet Potato Bites

Cubes of sweet potato roasted until crispy and caramelized. This easy oven-roasted recipe turns the humble sweet potato into a crave-worthy side. With just a bit of seasoning, the natural sweetness shines through.

📝 Ingredients

• 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

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400° F (204° C) with the rack positioned at the bottom of the oven to promote browning.
2. 2Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. You can do this directly on the sheet pan, but it's easier in a bowl.
3. 3Spread evenly onto a parchment paper lined half-sheet pan or 13x9" baking dish, giving the cubes space to brown.
4. 4Place 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.
