1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon nutmeg

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.

      Make the Honey Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully blended.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the honey butter mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss until all the cubes are thoroughly coated.

          Roast the Potatoes: Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they’re in a single layer to promote even roasting.

            Roast in the Oven: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.

              Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired. Enjoy your sweet and savory dish!
