Maple Brown Butter Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Servings 4
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 1½ tbsp butter
- 1½ tbsp real maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, then place them on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Toss well to coat evenly.
- Place in the oven to roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through bake time.
- Meanwhile, make the maple brown butter by melting the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan, stirring constantly. It will start to bubble, foam, and separate, then it will turn golden brown with a nutty aroma. Side Note: Watch carefully while cooking because it can burn quickly & easily.
- Remove from the heat and pour into a small dish, then immediately add the maple syrup and whisk until well combined. Set aside until needed.
- Once the sweet potatoes have roasted for 25 minutes, drizzle the maple brown butter over them, then carefully toss to coat. Continue to roast for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve. Enjoy.
