This sweet potato dish strikes a perfect balance between sweet, tart, and savory. Ingredients:
3 pounds orange-flesh sweet potatoes (often labeled |
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
2 fuji apples, peeled and cut into 1-in. chunks |
2 golden delicious, peeled and cut into 1-in. chunks |
2 granny smith apples, peeled and cut into 1-in. chunks |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
finely shredded zest of 1 lemon |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus sprigs |
about 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes, oil, apples, syrup, lemon zest and juice, chopped thyme, 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, and pepper until coated.
2. Spread mixture in a single layer in 2 large, oiled, rimmed baking pans. Roast until sweet potatoes are browned and tender when pierced, 40 minutes, turning chunks every 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter, add more salt to taste, and garnish with thyme sprigs.
3. Make ahead: Up to 1 day; chill. Reheat, drizzled with a little olive oil, in a 425° oven in 2 baking pans, until hot, 20 minutes.
