Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450° F with a rack in the center position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Toss the sweet potatoes on the prepared sheet pan with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the sweet potatoes out in an even layer. Roast for 15 minutes, or until the bottoms are starting to brown.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm the honey, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the brown sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the sheet pan from the oven, then brush the sweet potatoes with half of the honey mixture. Flip the sweet potatoes and brush with the remaining honey mixture. Sprinkle with the pecans and return the sweet potatoes to the oven. Roast for another 8-10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are browned and caramelized. Sprinkle with flaky salt to serve.
