Ingredients
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
Salt & pepper to taste
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)
½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup walnut halves, roughly chopped
Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss sweet potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
While roasting, toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant.
In the last 5 minutes, drizzle sweet potatoes with maple syrup and optional mustard. Toss gently and return to oven to glaze.
Top with toasted walnuts and fresh herbs before serving.
