2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
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.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with melted butter for a glossy finish.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.

Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix. If you prefer a touch more sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the sweet potatoes before serving. You can also experiment with different herbs for garnish, such as thyme or rosemary, for a slightly different flavor profile. To make these bites even more savory, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta or goat cheese just before serving.
