The Simplest Side Dish

I love sweet potatoes, and, recently, I started roasting them with garlic and onions and apples.  It's the easiest thing, but it is so ridiculously good.  The kids pick out the onions, but they chow down on the sweet potatoes and apples!  I love the sweet/savory mix.  I hope you do too!

Prep: 20 min., Bake: 35 min. 

Ingredients

• 3  pounds  sweet potatoes (about 5 medium-size sweet potatoes), peeled
• 2  large Granny Smith apples, peeled
• 4  tablespoons  olive oil
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1  teaspoon  kosher salt
• 1/2  teaspoon  coarsely ground pepper

Preparation

1. Cut peeled sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Cut peeled apples into 1/2-inch-thick cubes.  Smash the garlic cubes to peel them, then roughly chop them.  Cut the onion into larger chunks, a little smaller than the sweet potatoes and apples.
2. Coat everything in the olive oil.  
3. Add salt and pepper.
4. Place potato mixture in a single layer in a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
5. Bake at 400° for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes and apples are tender and lightly browned.  You can bake for less if you'd like your apples more crisp.

Enjoy!
