How to Make Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and peel 2 pounds of sweet potatoes. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
5. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss gently to ensure even coating.
6. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
8. Remove the foil, stir the sweet potatoes, and continue baking for another 45-50 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
