Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch pieces for even roasting.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Toss the sweet potatoes in the honey-spice mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the coated sweet potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring pieces do not overlap.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and lightly browned at the edges.
If using nuts, add them during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a crunchy texture.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, grain bowls, or salads.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey according to taste.
Optional herbs like rosemary or thyme can be added before roasting for a savory twist.
Combine with other root vegetables like carrots or parsnips for a colorful autumn medley.
