Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
In the same bowl, whisk together maple syrup, olive oil, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add cubed sweet potatoes to the glaze mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
