- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized bite-size cubes. This ensures they cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
Step 3: Coat with Oil and Spices
- Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
- Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of sea salt. Toss again until the sweet potatoes are well-coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
- Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overcrowded—this helps them roast instead of steam.
- Dot the sweet potatoes with small pieces of butter, distributing it evenly across the pan for added richness.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking, until they’re golden brown, caramelized, and fork-tender.
Step 5: Taste and Adjust
- Once roasted, taste the sweet potatoes and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a bit more brown sugar for extra sweetness or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
