For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of orange juice or a dash of vanilla extract to the maple syrup mixture. To achieve a caramelized finish, broil the sweet potatoes for the last minute or two of baking, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. Feel free to adjust the amount of spices to suit your taste preferences.
