Roasted Apple Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes
Tender sweet potato cubes and juicy apples roasted with cinnamon and a touch of maple for caramelized edges and soft centers. Cozy, naturally gluten-free, vegan, and fully halal—perfect for fall dinners, holidays, or an easy weeknight side.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (or packed brown sugar)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, add at the end)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes and apples. Add olive oil (or melted butter), maple syrup (or brown sugar), cinnamon, nutmeg if using, and salt. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces for caramelization.
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and edges are caramelized.
- If using nuts, sprinkle them over the pan during the last 5 minutes of roasting to toast lightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt or an extra drizzle of maple syrup. Serve warm.
