Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Yesterday we talked all about my favorite green bean recipe and today we’re talking about sweet potatoes! Some people like them topped with marshmallows, some people like them mashed but this Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes will win over everyone! They’re perfectly sweetened and super easy to make! My mother is a huge sweet potato fan so I’m excited to make these for her this year.

Best Sweet Potatoes for Thanksgiving
These Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal during the fall (or all year round)! The maple and cinnamon on these is just an explosion of flavor when you bite into a piece of sweet potato, it would go great with a chicken dinner or summer salad! Another bonus of this side dish is that it reheats really well. Parker and I obviously couldn’t finish it all since there were only two of us but these Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes were wonderful the next day after a quick zap in the microwave.
Super Easy Side Dish
I love this recipe because it is so simple. The prep work takes 5 minutes and then the rest of the time is in the oven, so you can easily knock out this side dish while working on the main course. I am all about a quick and easy dinner and these Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes sure are a great go-to side dish if that is the goal. Have you ever had one of those hectic dinners where you have 5 pots on the stove and a million things to chop, simmer, braise, or stir all at the same time? I have…and let’s just say I burned it all and ordered take out! Avoid that mess and stick to easy side dishes like this one. You can always get take out tomorrow, but tonight, you’ll nail this!

Do you have any suggestion for a substitution for the maple syrup? I just cannot stand maple on anything. But I love the idea of the cinnamon.
You don’t have to use the maple if you don’t want! It just adds another layer of flavor, but if you don’t like the flavor of syrup then don’t use it!
