These cinnamon roasted sweet potatoes and cranberries make for a delightful side dish or snack. The natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes pairs perfectly with the tartness of the cranberries, all enhanced by the warmth of cinnamon. It's a vegan, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly recipe that's bursting with flavor and nutrients.
Ingredients: 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed. 1 cup fresh cranberries. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 tablespoons maple syrup. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Salt, to taste. Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts for garnish.
Instructions: Get the oven ready by heating it up to 400F 200C. Put the cranberries and sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Toss the food so that it is evenly covered. Place the sweet potato mix on a baking sheet that has been lined with silicone mats or parchment paper. After the oven is hot, roast the sweet potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring them once or twice during that time, until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit before you serve. If you want, you can add chopped pecans or walnuts as a garnish before serving.
