Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

2 tablespoons maple syrup

Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.

      Add Spices: Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and black pepper over the sweet potatoes. Toss until they are well coated with the spices.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you're using pecans, sprinkle them over the top at this stage.

          Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden-brown, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

            Drizzle Maple Syrup: Once done, remove from the oven and drizzle with maple syrup. Toss gently to combine the syrup with the sweet potatoes.

              Garnish and Serve: Transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the cozy flavors!
