Chef's Tips
For a deeper maple flavor, drizzle a little extra maple syrup over the roasted sweet potatoes before serving.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For extra flavor, you can toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes before adding them to the sweet potatoes.
To add more depth of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar to the sweet potatoes before roasting.
