Toaster Oven Sweet Potatoes with Maple Butter
Toaster oven sweet potatoes are buttery soft inside with a lightly crisped skin. Finished with a swirl of cinnamon maple butter, they’re irresistibly delicious and naturally sweet.
Equipment
- toaster oven
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- coconut oil, olive oil, or melted butter
For the maple butter:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1½ tablespoons maple syrup
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat toaster oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line the pan for the toaster oven with aluminum foil. Set aside.
- Cut the ends off of the sweet potatoes. Place the sweet potato on it’s flat end so it’s standing up and carefully cut it into three equal slices.
- Place all six slices flat on the prepared pan, giving a little bit of space between them. Brush the tops of the sweet potatoes with oil or butter and sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are soft and fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, make the maple butter. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Beat well with a spoon. Set aside.
- Serve the baked sweet potatoes warm with maple butter on top. If you have leftover maple butter it will last in the fridge for 2 weeks.
- Note: If you like your maple butter on the sweeter side, add a teaspoon or two of powdered sugar.
