Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Spiced Maple Glaze

Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 450°. Peel 2 lb. sweet potatoes (3–4 large), then slice crosswise ¾"–1"-thick and cut into ¾"–1" pieces. (You want them to be all about the same size so they cook evenly.) Transfer to a large bowl and add ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil and 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt; toss to coat. Transfer sweet potatoes to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading out evenly; reserve bowl.
Roast sweet potatoes, tossing occasionally with a metal spatula, until browned and fork-tender, 20–25 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk 3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup, 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tsp. ground cinnamon in reserved bowl.
Transfer roasted sweet potatoes to bowl with spice mixture and toss to coat.
