Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup walnut pieces
  • Fresh parsley for garnish chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Place the potato cubes and onion in a large bowl and stir them together.
  • Add the oil, garlic and maple syrup. Toss the potatoes to coat.
  • Season with the thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Pour into the prepared pan spreading the potatoes out evenly.
  • Bake for 40 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and add the walnuts. Stir gently.
  • Return to the oven to bake an additional 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Pecans can be substituted for the walnuts in this recipe.
  • Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
  • Potatoes can be reheated by placing them in a baking pan in the oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes. They will be a little softer than when they were originally cooked.
  • Try to cut the potato cubes roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
  • I prefer the texture of the sweet potatoes when they have been peeled, however, the skin is edible and you can leave it on if you wish.Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pieces of sweet potato.
  • Check the doneness of the potatoes by testing them with a fork. They are done when they are tender.
  • If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute it with honey.
