Baked sweet potatoes will take on a more appetizing, glossy appearance if you drizzle them with maple syrup a few minutes before they're done. This syrup will also highlight the sweet potato's natural sweetness, while lemon zest, grains of sea salt, and a pinch of nutmeg added at the end will add a more interesting and rounded flavor. Serve baked sweet potatoes with meat or poultry dishes.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place sweet potato slices on a large, foil-lined, oiled baking sheet; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, drizzle the sweet potatoes with maple syrup, and toss to coat. Return to the oven and bake, tossing twice, until the sweet potatoes begin to brown and are tender, about 15 more minutes.
- Before serving, sprinkle the warm sweet potatoes with grated lemon zest, sea salt and nutmeg to taste.
Note
You'll need just a little vegetable oil and maple syrup to coat all the thick sweet potato slices. Roasting at a high temperature will brown them nicely and bring out the depth of flavor. Fresh lemon zest adds a pleasant flavor without the added fat..
