3-Ingredient Maple Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Be the first to rate & review!

This easy side is sweet and smoky, thanks to the combination of maple syrup and adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chile peppers. If you have leftover chipotles, freeze them along with the adobo sauce in an ice cube tray and then thaw out a cube as needed. If you love the flavor of chipotles and want to take the heat up a notch, you can chop a chile and toss the roasted potatoes with it right before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
