Ingredients:

For the potatoes:
β†’ 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ΒΌ-inch rounds
β†’ 1 Β½ tbsp cinnamon
β†’ 2 tsp black pepper
β†’ 1 tbsp salt
β†’ 1 Β½ tbsp olive oil

For the glaze:
β†’ 2 tbsp maple syrup
β†’ 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
β†’ 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
β†’ 1 tsp cinnamon
β†’ 1 tsp salt
β†’ 1/2 tsp black pepper

Toppings:
β†’ Pecans, chopped
β†’ Red pepper flakes

Directions:

β†’ Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
β†’ Place a cast-iron skillet over low heat to warm up.
β†’ In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato slices with olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
β†’ Lightly coat the heated skillet with olive oil. Sear the sweet potato slices in batches for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.

β†’ Plate the sweet potatoes and garnish with chopped pecans, red pepper flakes, flaky salt, and any leftover glaze. Enjoy!
