Tips and Tricks

Cut evenly – Keep the sweet potato cubes close to the same size so they finish roasting at about the same time.
Don't overcrowd the pan – Leave a little space between the cubes. Use two baking sheets if necessary to prevent steaming.
Watch the edges – Maple syrup can brown quickly at high temperatures. Check the potatoes during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Use pure maple syrup – Pancake syrup is usually sweeter and has a different consistency. Pure maple syrup is the better choice for this recipe.
Prepare ahead – Peel and cube the sweet potatoes up to a day ahead. Keep them submerged in cold water in the refrigerator, then drain and dry thoroughly before seasoning.

Storing and Reheating

Refrigerator – Store leftover sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freezer – Freeze cooled sweet potatoes in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. The texture may be softer after thawing.
Oven – Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and reheat at 375°F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through.
Air Fryer – Reheat at 350°F for 4 to 6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Microwave – Place a serving in a microwave-safe dish and heat in 30-second intervals until hot. The potatoes will be softer than when reheated in the oven.
