Description

Enjoy a comforting and flavorful side dish with this Tasty Cinnamon Butter Baked Sweet Potato recipe. Sweet potatoes are peeled, diced, then coated in a luscious maple-butter-cinnamon mixture and baked until tender and caramelized, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and warm spice.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2.5 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes

Maple Butter Coating

  • 6 tbsp Tillamook butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Other

  • Cooking spray (for greasing the sheet pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Sheet Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray to prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking and to ensure even roasting.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. This size will help the potatoes cook evenly and remain pleasantly textured.
  3. Mix the Maple Butter Coating: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and salt to create a flavorful coating that enhances the sweetness of the potatoes.
  4. Coat the Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the diced sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Pour the maple butter mixture over them and toss well using a spoon or your hands to ensure each piece is evenly coated for consistent flavor.
  5. Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Stir the potatoes once halfway through baking to promote even cooking and caramelization. The sweet potatoes are done when tender and lightly caramelized.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and serve immediately as a sweet, buttery, and cinnamon-spiced side dish.

Notes

  • Using Tillamook butter is optional but adds a rich, creamy flavor to the dish.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon to suit your preference for spice intensity.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with a plant-based butter alternative and ensure maple syrup is pure and vegan-friendly.
  • Stirring halfway through baking helps to prevent burning and promotes even caramelization.
  • Sweet potatoes can be made ahead and reheated; just cover and warm in the oven to restore crispness.
