Cinnamon Butter Baked Sweet Potatoes are what I roast when you and I want a cozy, caramelized side dish that tastes like dessert but sits perfectly next to roast chicken, turkey, or weeknight pork chops. You toss sweet potato cubes with melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt, spread them on a hot pan, and bake until the edges are browned and sticky and the centers are tender and buttery.
Why You’ll Love These Cinnamon Butter Baked Sweet Potatoes
You’ll love how little work you do for how special these taste. The maple‑cinnamon butter does all the heavy lifting: it melts into the sweet potatoes, caramelizes on the pan, and gives you glossy, golden cubes that look and taste like something from a holiday table.
The texture hits that sweet spot between soft and structured. The centers are creamy and fork‑tender, while the edges pick up browned, sticky bits of maple and butter that cling to each piece. This recipe also scales easily, so you can roast just enough for two or fill a big sheet pan for a crowd without changing the method.
