- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and encourage even browning.
- Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated, ensuring the seasoning reaches all sides for maximum flavor.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the pieces are not overcrowded, as spacing allows the edges to caramelize rather than steam.
- Roast: Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through. They are done when fork-tender with golden, caramelized edges and a glossy maple finish.
Finishing & Serving
- Transfer: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish while still hot.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the warm potatoes so it softens slightly without fully melting. Scatter the toasted walnuts on top for crunch.
- Garnish: Finish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve: Serve warm as a side dish or vegetarian main.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, turkey, pork, or grain-based mains. It also works well as part of a holiday spread or served over a bed of greens for a hearty vegetarian plate.
