Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

3 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh thyme leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to evenly coat the sweet potatoes.

      Make the Honey Butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and honey until well combined.

        Combine: Pour the honey butter mixture over the seasoned sweet potatoes and toss well to ensure all pieces are coated in the mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded for even roasting.

            Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and lightly caramelized.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. If desired, garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
