Oven-roasted sweet potatoes with pecans are the perfect balance of cozy and classy, making them a hit for weeknight dinners and holiday gatherings. Tossed with olive oil, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon - roast them in the oven at 400°F for 30 minutes. Finished with a handful of Southern pecans for that irresistible crunch, this dish brings a warm, sweet flair to your table-simple, flavorful, and oh-so-southern!

3 Pounds Sweet Potatoes - cubed
2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
1-2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 Cup Pecans - chopped

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cube the sweet potatoes and add to the baking sheet along with the chopped pecans. Drizzle maple syrup and olive oil over the potatoes, then add the salt and cinnamon. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

[I would sprinkle toasted pecans on top after taking the potatoes out of the oven.]

Place in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they're tender and starting to caramelize. Being mindful not to burn the pecans (hence stirring halfway through).

Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
