Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes

A guest post from our customer Sara Ann:

We all do it — mindless football munching. We sit down with a bag of … (fill in the blank), and put a big dent in it as we watch our favorite team play.  Here’s a snack that will make you not miss those chips…at all.

 

One purple sweet potato (or could use an orange one), washed and cut into 3/8 inch rounds, and with the rounds quartered

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

2 heaping teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon real maple syrup (you can substitute honey)

You can also add a little salt if you’d like.

Mix all the above in a bowl, making sure all the little pieces get coated. Spread on a shallow pan and bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until desired doneness. Check often to make sure they don’t get overdone.

Enjoy!
