Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and cut 2 large sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss them in a large bowl with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden and tender.
  3. Step 3: While the potatoes roast, whisk together 1/4 cup dark spiced rum, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: Remove sweet potatoes from oven and brush generously with the spiced rum glaze. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Serve warm as a flavorful side with a hint of warm spice and rum sweetness.
