• Start by preheating the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.

Preparing the Potatoes:

• Use a peeler to peel the sweet potatoes, removing any dark spots. Drop the peeled potatoes into a large bowl filled with cold water. This will prevent the dark spots from forming on the potatoes.
• Using a sharp chef’s knife, cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Evenly cubed potatoes will bake more evenly.
• Place the cubed potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet.

Adding the Seasonings:

• Pour the avocado oil and maple syrup over the potatoes and add the mustard.
• Add freshly ground black pepper, then sprinkle the potatoes with salt, dried garlic, dried onion, fresh thyme, and smoked paprika.
• Using your hands, toss the potatoes until they are well coated in all the seasonings, then spread the potatoes evenly on the baking sheet.
• Cover the seasoned sweet potatoes with a sheet of wide foil; or use two regular-width sheets. The potatoes should be sealed tightly.

Roasting Instructions:

• Roast the maple glazed sweet potatoes at 425°F covered with foil for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
• Remove the foil from the potatoes once they’re soft, then continue to roast for another 20 minutes, tossing them after 10 minutes with a spatula.
• Turn the oven to the broiler setting and broil the potatoes on ‘high’ for 5 to 7 minutes until the potatoes are golden on top. You can skip this step if the potatoes are already caramelized.
• Keep the potatoes warm until you’re ready to enjoy them. Transfer them into a large bowl for serving.
