Cinnamon Butter Baked Sweet Potatoes
These cinnamon butter baked sweet potatoes are tender, caramelized, and coated in a luscious maple-cinnamon glaze—easy enough for weeknights, special enough for gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Cooking spray or neutral oil for coating the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a sheet pan with cooking spray or oil.
- Arrange the sweet potato cubes in a single, even layer so they roast properly.
- In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Drizzle the mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss until every piece is coated.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and caramelized around the edges.
- Serve warm—the glaze will thicken slightly as it cools, giving each bite a buttery, sweet-salty finish.
