Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Apples and Onions
Roasted sweet potatoes, apples and onions is a sweet and savory dish filled with flavor. The apples and onions really complement the rich sweet potato flavor, with no need for added sugar. Roast at high heat with a bit of oil, cinnamon, and salt to bring out all the wonderful, warm flavors. Dice the sweet potatoes small so they cook up in under 45 minutes. If you prefer larger chunks, plan to cook this dish for closer to an hour.
We love to serve this alongside roasted pork tenderloin, grilled rosemary and thyme herb chicken, or spiced roasted chickpeas. We also serve this with ham on Easter and New Year’s Day. It’s easy to prepare and lighter than traditional butter and brown sugar style sweet potato casseroles. It is most definitely, however, holiday-dinner-table worthy!
