Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil and maple syrup over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and pepper. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can broil the sweet potatoes for 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning to taste by adding more or less cinnamon and maple syrup.
Add a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a fresh pop of flavor.
