Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Sides · 35 min · Serves 4 · Easy · Best with Amber Rich maple syrup

Caramelized, tender sweet potato cubes with a maple glaze and a sprinkle of sea salt. The side dish everyone asks for the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup (Amber Rich)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet — don’t crowd them.
  4. Roast 15 minutes. Flip and roast another 12–15 minutes until caramelized and tender.
  5. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and fresh herbs if using.
  6. Serve immediately — they’re best hot from the oven.
Tip: Amber Rich maple caramelizes beautifully at high heat without burning. Make sure not to crowd the pan — space between the cubes is what gives you those crispy golden edges.
