Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup pecans
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes. Try to keep the pieces roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, ground cinnamon, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the sweet potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly. Avoid crowding the pan.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 6

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, roughly chop the pecans and set them aside.

Step 7

After 25 minutes, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top. Drizzle with maple syrup.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized, and the pecans are lightly toasted.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and optionally garnish with fresh thyme for a hint of brightness.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy the balance of sweet, nutty, and savory flavors!
