Roasting sweet potatoes is even easier than boiling and mashing them, and the maple glaze makes them especially crispy on the outside!

Ingredients:

• 2½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1½-inch pieces (about 8 cups)
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon salt

Preparation Instructions:

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 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.
