MAPLE BALSAMIC SWEET POTATOES

One of my favorite foods is sweet potatoes.  They are an excellent healthy food choice and easy to make and keep in the fridge.  I mix them with chicken, salads, rice and eggs.

Maple Balsamic Sweet Potatoes

Peel and cube sweet potatoes (I usually do 2 medium at a time since it fits on one cookie sheet) Cubes should be about the size of dice

Mix together olive oil, maple syrup* and balsamic vinegar** in a small dish.  I don’t measure but it is about 3 TBS olive oil, 1-2 TBS Maple Syrup and 1 - 2 TBS of balsamic.

Pour mix over potatoes and toss together until evenly coated

Put on a greased (I used olive oil) cookie sheet

Sprinkle with a light coat of sea salt

Cook at 375 for 20 - 30 minutes (turn them every 10 minutes)

*Use REAL maple syrup

** I buy balsamic vinegar at the farmers market.  It is $18 for one bottle.  It is worth every penny.  I highly recommend the investment.  One bottle will last me a couple of months.  I use it on sweet potatoes, for sauteed mushrooms and in other recipes that call for balsamic.  The bottle I have from Costco sits untouched since I found the one at the farmers market.
