Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional but recommended for crunch)

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) for garnish (optional for added freshness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough for roasting.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with the olive oil. Stir well to make sure all pieces are evenly coated.

      Add Spices: Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, sea salt, and black pepper over the sweet potatoes. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly coated with the spice mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the sheet. If you’re using pecans, sprinkle them evenly over the sweet potato cubes at this point.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Stir the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they roast evenly and develop a golden-brown color.

            Drizzle Maple Syrup: When the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the pure maple syrup over the top and gently toss the sweet potatoes to allow the syrup to coat them evenly.

              Garnish and Serve: Transfer the warm sweet potatoes to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and savor the cozy spiced aroma!
