Easy Roasted Sweet Potatoes

These easy roasted sweet potatoes are savory, sweet, spicy, and tender, making them an incredible side dish ready to be served with almost anything.

My family loves sweet potatoes! I made these easy roasted sweet potatoes after tossing the slices in a combination of olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. They always turn out tender, flavorful, and delicious. I like to have these roasted sweet potatoes in the fridge to throw in salads throughout the week.

How to Make Easy Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
