Here’s one of the simplest preparations for sweet potatoes: Heat your oven to 450 degrees. Cut them into one-inch wedges, toss them with extra virgin olive oil, a bit of soy sauce, salt and pepper, and roast on a sheet pan until soft (make sure there is space around the spears or they will steam as they cook). They cook much quicker this way then if you were to bake them whole, and the flavor is fantastic.

Roasting sweet potatoes is even easier than boiling and mashing them. Maple syrup glaze transforms this ultra-simple dish into something sublime.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (about 8 cups)
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preparation:
1.Preheat oven to 400°F.
2.Arrange sweet potatoes in an even layer in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Combine maple syrup, butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper in small bowl. Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes; toss to coat.
3.Cover and bake the sweet potatoes for 15 minutes. Uncover, stir and cook, stirring every 15 minutes, until tender and starting to brown, 45 to 50 minutes more.
