Mix brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring often, until sugar has dissolved and butter has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sauce over sliced sweet potatoes.

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and sauce has slightly reduced, about 1 hour. Serve hot.
