Marilyn,
Thanks for sharing at our Instant Pot Link Up Party this week. Please remember to only link up Instant Pot recipes though at our party.If you have some we would love to see you link up with us at the next party.
Sorry about that. I even took that one off my list. I guess it was still in my buffered parties. Have a great week.
These look yummy and I have a bunch of sweet potatoes on the counter. I think I just decided what to make with our elk roast tonight! Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday!
If you get the chance please stop and let me know how it turned out for you. This is a no fail recipe and I know everyone will eat it up! Have a great week.

This recipe is so easy and still healthy. You will love it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and have a great week.
These look delicious! I love sweet potatoes, and maple makes everything better.
I 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!
Maple syrup is a staple in our home and so delicious on roasted vegetables. Maple butter is also great. I love this recipe.
Thank you Leanna. I love maple butter also! Have a lovely weekend!
I’m sure these are delicious! Pinned for later. Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty

Thank you Denise. We love them too. Make sure to do something for yourself and have a great week!
This looks amazing! I absolutely love sweet potatoes, and my picky toddler likes them, too! I’m always looking for new preparations for them. I will definitely be giving this a try soon. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
So great to hear that Amy! Let me know when you give them a try. Have a great weekend!
I could eat these everyday and twice on Sunday!
My husband found this recipe and won’t eat anything else! Enjoy if you make them. Have a wonderful weekend.
Will have to try this one. Hubby loves sweet potatoes. Grandbabies won’t eat them. Maybe they will with your recipe. Thank you for sharing this post at the #WednesdayAIMLinkParty. I shared it on social media.
Oh, my granddaughter only eats sweet potatoes this way and of course, sweet potato fries. Let me know if you try it! Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
Thank you Jess. Have a great week!
These sound delicious!
Thank you Jenna! Have a great week!
Sounds 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 –
Wow, I didn’t know that! I love it. Thanks Helen. Have a great week!
I 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!
That is so funny! My son has an aquarium and won’t eat any fish he has ever had. Catfish, talapia, etc. I fully understand!!
Yummy! 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.
You are welcome Cheryl. This is a fast one and very delicious. I hope you get to try them!! Have a great week!
Your recipes always catch my eye. They are “real” food and stuff I could actually make. I love sweet potatoes and this seems like it would be a hit with the kids.
My granddaughter calles these dessert! And she means it too. Thanks Melissa. Have a great week.
Love this- Ive done it with carrots but never sweet potatoes- makes perfect sense!
So glad to hear abput the carrots. I bet they are super. Have a great day.

I just love sweet potatoes! Yours looks so yum!
Thank you Cristina! They are delicious. Have a great day.
I love this recipe. I love the addition of maple syrup. Good timing – I have a can of maple syrup at home. Thanks for sharing! I found you at Happiness is Homemade. 🙂
Thanks Jhuls. The maple syrup makes these sp good and it really is a healthy option. I was surprised!
You are welcome. The lemon juoce just cuts a bit of the weetness and you don’t taste the lemon. Just a personal choice. Have a wonderful week!
Mmmmm… we love sweet potatoes and I have made them similar to this… they are wonderful! 🙂 I haven’t put lemon juice in mine… Thank you for sharing this. 🙂
