Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into even rounds, about ½ inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, add melted butter, cinnamon, and salt to the sweet potatoes. Toss to coat.
Transfer the sweet potatoes to the baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer.
Roast the sweet potatoes for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Drizzle maple syrup over the sweet potatoes and sprinkle with walnuts, then roast for an additional 15 minutes.
Check that the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and walnuts are caramelized. Adjust cooking time if necessary.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme. Serve warm.
