Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 , 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups sweet potatoes, peeled & cubed (about 2 lbs)
1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup orange juice, fresh
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups granny smith apples, cubed (about 1 1/4 lbs)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Wash, peel and cube the sweet potatoes (1 1/2" cubes).
  • Combine potatoes and onion in a 13x9" baking dish.
  • Combine sugar, orange juice, oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Then pour this over the potato mixture - tossing well to coat.
  • Cover baking dish and bake at 350F for 30 minutes (stir occasionally).
  • Wash and cube the Granny Smith apples (1" cubes). Stir in the apple cubes to the casserole and then bake covered an additional 15 minutes or until apple is tender.
  • Uncover dish and bake an additional 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right sweet potatoes: Choose firm and evenly-shaped sweet potatoes without blemishes or bruises.
  • Roasting the sweet potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for crispy roasted sweet potatoes. Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting to enhance their flavor.
  • Adding apples: Use a variety of apple types for different flavors and textures. Granny Smith apples provide a tart contrast, while Honeycrisp apples add sweetness. Cut the apples into uniform-sized cubes to ensure even cooking.
  • Dressing the salad: Prepare the dressing separately and drizzle it over the roasted sweet potatoes and apples just before serving. This helps prevent the dressing from becoming absorbed and keeps the salad fresh and flavorful.
  • Garnish and serving: Top the salad with chopped walnuts or pecans, fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese for added texture and flavor. Serve the salad warm or at room temperature.
