I love baked sweet potatoes either as a dessert like treat or as part of a meal.

Quantities depends on the size of your party…

• Sweet Potatoes or Yams – scrubbed and cut into large chunks – about 5-6cm in diameter
• Sunflower Oil – deodorized sunflower oil works well for roasting as it doesn’t burn so easily
• Maple syrup
• Ground Cinnamon
• Sea Salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven to 180c or 330f
2. In a mixing bowl combine the sweet potatoes or yams with a little sunflower oil, enough to coat them and make them shiny but not too much!
3. Now Toss with a little maple syrup about the same amount as the sunflower oil or a little less. The oil locks in the moisture of the potatoes and the maple syrup gives them a maple flavour and some extra sweetness.
4. Sprinkle with a few pinches of sea salt, depending on how many potatoes you’ve used, and finally dust lightly with ground cinnamon.
5. Place in baking pan, I find Pyrex works well, and roast for about 45 min to 1 hour or until tender and juicy.
   

Serve hot!
