Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice blend.
Step 4
Add the chopped sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss until they're evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not crowded to allow them to roast properly.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.
Step 7
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and lime juice to create a glaze.
Step 8
After the sweet potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and drizzle the maple-lime glaze over the top. Toss gently to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.
Step 9
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the glazed sweet potatoes for a refreshing finish.
Step 10
Serve warm as a main course or as a complement to other dishes. Enjoy your Sweet Sweet Potato Vegetarian!
