Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Apples

My little love calls these “Sweet Potato and Apple Triangles and Squares” and she requests them all the time.  They are perfect for a simple snack or a side dish. 

Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Apples

Roasting brings out the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and apples.

Equipment: Medium-Size Mixing Bowl, Large Bar Pan or Baking Pan (I use a stoneware large bar pan)

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 3 medium-size apples, cored, peeled and cubed
• 1 ½-2 tablespoons pasture butter, ghee or fat of choice, melted (See Resources)
• Celtic sea salt

1.     Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2.    Melt butter and prep sweet potatoes and apples – peel and cut into large chunks, about ½ inch cubes.  Place in medium-size bowl.

3.    Pour melted butter over sweet potatoes and apples.  Season with sea salt and stir to coat evenly.

 

4.    Pour onto baking pan, spread evenly forming one layer. 

5.     Bake for 15 minutes, then stir.  Reset timer for 15 minutes and check to see if they are done, they should have some golden brown edges and be fork-tender.

6.    Remove from oven and serve or store in refrigerator for later. 

Yield: Makes about 4-5 servings. 

Note: These store great in the refrigerator and reheat well on the stove-top.
