  • 2 Pounds Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Stock
  • 2 Tablespoons Date Syrup
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon Cayenne
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  • In a small bowl, mix the vegetable broth, date syrup, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes and stir to coat.
