Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 medium apples
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.25 cups chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Core the apples and cut them into 1-inch pieces (peeling is optional).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes and apple pieces.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and apples, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potato and apple mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and starting to brown and the apples are caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the maple syrup over the roasted sweet potatoes and apples. Toss gently to coat.
If desired, sprinkle the dish with chopped pecans for a bit of crunch.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light snack. Enjoy!
