Roasted Sweet Potato and Apple Home Fries

This simple vegan recipe is perfect for your fall table or even as a side at Thanksgiving!

Ingredients:
3# sweet potatoes or garnet yams, peeled, diced about ½ inch
2# Banana, Gala or your favorite apple, cored and diced about ½ inch
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 475F. Toss sweet potatoes and apples with oil, a little bit of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Lay the sweet potatoes and apples on a silpat-lined cookie sheet or a non-stick cookie sheet (with sides!) and roast, stirring once or twice, for about 35 minutes. Remove from oven when soft and slightly browned at the edges. Let sit for 5 minutes on the pan, then remove to serving bowl or platter. Taste for salt and pepper and add a bit more if needed.

A nice garnish to this dish would be any type of toasted nuts or seeds (we like sesame seeds and a bit of togarashi seasoning, or slivered, toasted almonds). You can, of course, serve these as new delicious sides to any meat-centered meal (like your Thanksgiving Turkey!).
