Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potato & Apple Recipe


I came up with this super simple side dish earlier this fall when I had a surplus of apples that I had to use up. I was on a Whole30 at the time, so I couldn't make apple crisp or apple pie, so I thought, hmm, how would this taste roasted with some sweet potato? The answer: AMAZING. 

CINNAMON ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND APPLE RECIPE

Recipe Ingredients: 
1-2 large sweet potatoes, cubed
3 organic apples, cubed slightly bigger than the sweet potatoes
1-2 TBSP of melted ghee or cooking fat of choice
cinnamon, to taste
salt, to taste

Recipe Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Prep sweet potato and apples, cubing the apples a bit bigger than the sweet potato because the apples cook down faster. I don't bother peeling the sweet potato or apples, but feel free if you'd like.
  3. Add cubed sweet potato and apples to a large bowl and add melted ghee or other cooking fat of choice (olive oil, coconut oil, etc).  Add a few pinches of salt and sprinkle with cinnamon. With a large spoon, toss the cubes until every piece is well coated with ghee, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Lay the sweet potato and apple cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until done. Your house will smell AMAZING.
  6. Enjoy!
PS: This taste great as a breakfast item with some over easy eggs piled on top or mixed into some ground beef or ground pork. 

Until next time!
