Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve caramelization.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes and apple slices.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and apples. Sprinkle the cinnamon, salt, and pepper evenly over the mixture. Toss everything together until well coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes and apples across a large, lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Pop the baking sheet into the oven. Roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown, and the apples have softened.
  2. Once roasted, take them out of the oven, let them cool for a minute, and serve warm.

Notes

For a twist, substitute pears for apples or add nutmeg. Keep the sweet potato cubes evenly spaced on the baking sheet to avoid mushiness.
