Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes and Glaze

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into even cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Pecans

  • 1 cup crunchy pecans, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into even cubes to ensure they roast evenly. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), ground cinnamon (natural), ground nutmeg (natural), salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  2. Add the pecans: Roughly chop the pecans and gently mix them into the sweet potato mixture. The pecans’ natural oils will toast alongside the potatoes during roasting, adding aroma and crunch.
  3. Roast the mixture: Spread the sweet potato and pecan mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them once halfway through to ensure even caramelization and roasting.
  4. Serve warm: Once the sweet potatoes are tender and pecans are toasted, remove from the oven and let cool briefly. The maple syrup (natural) will have created a glossy glaze perfect for serving as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into uniformly sized cubes to avoid uneven cooking.
  • For extra crunch, toast pecans separately in a dry pan before adding to the mix.
  • Use fresh ground cinnamon (natural) and nutmeg (natural) for best flavor and aroma.
  • Keep an eye on the roasting time to prevent burning the maple syrup (natural) glaze.
  • Allow roasted sweet potatoes to rest a few minutes before serving to meld flavors.
  • Top with fresh chopped parsley or thyme for color and herbaceous brightness.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes to restore crispness.
