Sweet potatoes may be my favorite side dish and I didn’t fully appreciate them until I did my first Whole30 back in 2017. Getting away from processed grains and going gluten free opened my eyes to creative alternatives for starchy carbs that nourished my body, while still tasting great. So if you’re sick of eating a plain baked sweet potato, I got you!
The flavors of this side dish remind me of Thanksgiving when my mom and sister always make a sweet potato casserole that is to. die. for. However, it’s more of a dessert than a side dish since it’s full of butter and sugar (but hey, it tastes amazing)! Well, that recipe inspired me to make this one since it has the same flavor profile, but none of the added crap that I try not to eat on the regular.
You’ll love meal-prepping these potatoes for your week and they are delish for breakfast and dinner because of the sweet flavor profile! Feel free to make a double (or triple) batch and just re-heat as needed, you’ll thank me later when you don’t have to fire up the oven every day!
Be well, stay real,

Ingredients (serves 2)

Whisk the oil, maple syrup (if using) and seasoning together.
