Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for perfect caramelization.
  2. Wash and dry your sweet potatoes and carrots. Peel the carrots if preferred; leave sweet potato skins on for added nutrition. Cut into uniform pieces, about ¾-inch to 1-inch.
  3. Combine sweet potatoes and carrots in a baking dish. Add minced garlic, olive oil, and maple syrup. Sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, and salt, and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through. They're done when lightly browned and tender.
  5. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot or with your favorite main dishes.
