    • 2½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (about 8 cups)

    Description

    Roasting sweet potatoes is even easier than boiling and mashing them. Maple syrup glaze transforms this ultra-simple dish into something sublime.

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
    2. Arrange sweet potatoes in an even layer in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Combine maple syrup, butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes; toss to coat.
    3. Cover and bake the sweet potatoes for 15 minutes. Uncover, stir and cook, stirring every 15 minutes, until tender and starting to brown, 45 to 50 minutes more.

    Tips

    • Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Just before serving, reheat at 350°F until hot, about 15 minutes.
