- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Notes
Crispier Finish: Roast at 425°F for deeper caramelization. Make Ahead: Peel and cube the potatoes up to a day ahead and refrigerate in cold water. Drain and pat dry before roasting. Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika for a sweet-and-spicy kick. Serving Ideas: Delicious next to roasted turkey, beef, or chicken, or as a vegetarian main with salad.
