November 30, 2017 at 6:33 PMMarilyn, I love this! Not a marshmallow in sight! Real maple syrup is one of the wonders of the world.
Marilyn
November 30, 2017 at 7:47 PMThanks. I need you for marketing. Secret? I despise marshmallow without chocolate. Which I never eat! Have a great week.
Lisa
November 30, 2017 at 7:27 AMThese maple roasted sweet potatoes look delicious. I usually just roast them with olive oil, salt, and pepper but I think that the addition of maple syrup would make them even better. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Marilyn
November 30, 2017 at 12:15 PMYou are welcome Lisa. And contrary to popular belief the maple syrup is healthy. Have a great week.

April 1, 2017 at 8:40 AMI would love this recipe to go viral. My husband is the one that makes it as I am involved in other dishes and this requires cutting the sweet potatoes. I don’t have the strength anymore! Thanks for your kind words. Have a great week!

Helen at the Lazy Gastronome
March 28, 2017 at 10:11 AMSounds delicious! And I just read that, although we associate maple with fall, it’s really a spring product. The sap starts to flow in late winter, early spring – So this is a perfect Easter dish! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner Link up –
Marilyn
March 28, 2017 at 9:41 PMWow, I didn’t know that! I love it. Thanks Helen. Have a great week!
All about a Mummy
March 28, 2017 at 6:58 AMI do love a sweet potato and with maple syrup in the mix I bet they taste amazing. It is so annoying as my youngest won’t touch them despite her favourite colour being orange!
Marilyn
March 28, 2017 at 9:28 PMThat is so funny! My son has an aquarium and won’t eat any fish he has ever had. Catfish, talapia, etc. I fully understand!!
Cheryl
March 27, 2017 at 11:56 AMYummy! That looks good. I even eyeballed sweet potatoes at the produce store yesterday but could only think of one recipe to make them with that includes pecans, which I didn’t have at home. So I kept walking. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Marilyn
March 27, 2017 at 4:18 PMYou are welcome Cheryl. This is a fast one and very delicious. I hope you get to try them!! Have a great week!
