Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Maple-Glazed Candied Sweet Potatoes.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of water to a vigorous boil.
Step 2
Once bubbling, toss in the cubed sweet potatoes and let them cook until they yield easily to a knife, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
While the sweet potatoes are softening, preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat an 8-inch square baking pan with butter-flavored cooking spray to ensure a delightful release later.
Step 4
In a small bowl, blend together ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and allspice, creating a fragrant spice mix.
Step 5
In another bowl, whisk together maple syrup and melted butter until they harmonize beautifully.
Step 6
Once the sweet potatoes are tender, drain them and transfer them to a mixing bowl, mashing them until they reach a velvety smooth consistency.
Step 7
Fold the aromatic spice mixture into the mashed sweet potatoes, stirring until everything is perfectly combined.
Step 8
Spoon the sweet potato blend into your prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Step 9
Finally, drizzle the luscious maple syrup and butter mixture over the top, allowing it to seep into the sweet potato goodness.
Step 10
Bake in your preheated oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until everything is warmed through, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma that promises comfort in every bite.
