Balsamic Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Crispy, caramelized Balsamic Glazed Sweet Potatoes, roasted to perfection with a sweet-tart balsamic reduction—vegan, elegant, and surprisingly easy to make.
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper—because scrubbing trays is not a personality trait.
- In a bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges turn golden and slightly crisp.
- Meanwhile, whisk balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes until thick and glossy.
- Drizzle the glaze over roasted sweet potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast for another 5–7 minutes to let the glaze caramelize beautifully.
- Sprinkle with rosemary and parsley before serving. Try not to lick the pan.
