⁽¹⁾

These lovely maple syrup roasted sweet potatoes are tasty with a nice crust to the skin, not mushy at all. The slightly tart but sweet carmelized exterior is a refreshing change to this classic fall vegetable.

This is a nice and lovely recipe, I roasted them 5 minutes more, and the sweet potates just began to be brown, and taste great. I will make them again. Thanks.
