This dish is super beautiful, and fun to eat! Sweet Potatoes, Apples and Nuts are one of my favorite combinations, and although it’s something I love for the holidays, I’m cooking it up for a summer treat!

PHOTO: I served this over fresh Arugula as a side dish, but ended up eating this as my main course for dinner!

Ingredients

  • (4) Medium (4) Sweet Potatoes | I used purple Sweet Potatoes for this one, but this recipe will work with any variety!

  • (1) (1) Fuji Apple | sliced in half moons

  • (1) (1) Green Granny Smith Apple | sliced in half moons

  • ¼ cup ¼ Coconut Oil

  • (1) teaspoon (1) Himalayan Salt

  • ½ cup ½ Macadamia Nuts | optional | Walnuts work, too!

  • ½ cup ½ Almonds | optional | any nuts will do!

  • ½ cup ½ Coconut Sugar

  • (1) TABLESPOON (1) Ground Cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ¼ Nutmeg

  • Squeeze Squeeze Orange | optional

  • (1) teaspoon (1) Fresh Ginger | optional | minced

Let’s DO THIS!

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF, and coat your baking dish in Coconut Oil or your favorite cooking spray.
  • Wash and carefully slice your Sweet Potatoes, Hasselback-style. Please see my video below, using Yukon Gold Potatoes. Sweet Potatoes will be more difficult to cut, so please use caution, and a sharp knife.
  • Slice your Apples into very thin half moons.
  • There are really two ways to do this step. (This reminds me of those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books we read when we were kids. LOL!)

    Option 1: You can stuff your Sweet Potatoes with the Apple slices, drizzle with Coconut Oil, and sprinkle with Salt. Place in the oven for 45 minutes. Continue on to step #5.

    Option 2: You can drizzle your Sweet Potatoes with Coconut Oil, sprinkle with Salt, then place in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool for about 10 minutes. When the potatoes are cool enough to touch, place Apple slices between the cuts. Add more Apple slices to your baking dish. Continue on to step #6.
  • Remove from oven, and add more Apple slices to your baking dish.
  • Squeeze fresh Orange juice over the top of Potatoes and Apples, then sprinkle with Nuts and Coconut Sugar, Cinnamon and Nutmeg and optional Ginger. Place back into the oven for 20 more minutes, or until Apples and Potatoes are fork tender.

Push Play!

NOTES

  • Enjoy this as a side dish or a main entrée!
  • My technique for this particular recipe yields a crispy, caramelized exterior potato, with a rich and tender interior.
