  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Can be made up to 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Lightly pierce potatoes all over with fork. Place sweet potatoes on cookie sheet. Bake until tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 hour, but will depend on size of sweet potato.
