Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Sweet Potatoes
Sweet, caramelized Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Sweet Potatoes, roasted to golden perfection with warm spices and a vegan buttery glaze—pure comfort on a plate.
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional for extra sweetness
- 1 tablespoon chopped pecans optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup effortless.
- In a mixing bowl, combine melted vegan butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Add sweet potatoes and toss until every cube glistens like sugar-coated perfection.
- Spread them evenly on the baking sheet—crowded potatoes don’t caramelize, they sulk.
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
- Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle pecans before serving for that fancy finish.
