Description

Ingredients

• 5 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
• ½ cup pure maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 lemon, juiced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the sweet potatoes into a 13×9-inch glass baking dish.
• Combine the maple syrup, butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the sweet potatoes and stir it well to coat the sweet potatoes completely.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake it for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, stir the potatoes, and cook uncovered for 45-50 minutes more (until the potatoes are tender), stirring every 15 minutes to re-coat them with maple glaze.
