Delicious Candied Sweet Potatoes Recipe with Maple Syrup

Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• butter-flavored cooking spray
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Instructions

1. In a large pot, place sweet potatoes and cover them with salted water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender.
2. While the sweet potatoes are simmering, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. In a separate small bowl, combine maple syrup and melted butter.
4. Once the sweet potatoes are tender, drain them and transfer them to a bowl. Mash the potatoes thoroughly, then add the cinnamon mixture and stir until it's well combined. Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared baking pan, then drizzle the maple syrup mixture evenly over the top.
5. Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake until everything is heated through, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
