Ingredients:
- 3 medium sweet potatoes 🍠
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter 🧈
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon 🌿
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂

- 1/3 cup maple syrup (+ 2 tablespoons) 🍁
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts 🌰
- 1 teaspoon thyme 🌿

1. Wash the sweet potatoes and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You can peel them or leave the skin on, as you prefer 🍠🔪.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) 🔥.
3. Toss the sweet potato slices with melted butter, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix well using a spatula, your hands, or by shaking everything in a ziplock bag 🌀.
