Enjoy the comforting flavors of roasted sweet potatoes coated in a buttery cinnamon and brown sugar glaze. This easy-to-make side dish combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with warm cinnamon and brown sugar, baked to tender perfection with a slightly caramelized finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1 inch pieces

Glaze

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius) to get it ready for roasting.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.
  3. Prep Sweet Potatoes: Wash, peel, and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Make the Glaze: Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then whisk in the cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined.
  5. Coat Sweet Potatoes: Pour the cinnamon-butter glaze over the sweet potatoes and toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated.
  6. Roast: Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow the sweet potatoes to roast evenly.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the brown sugar amount or omit it entirely.
  • Use fresh cinnamon for a more vibrant flavor.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, salads, or as a hearty vegan side.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven to retain texture.
