Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches

Submitted by LifeIsGood

"This is a Daphne Oz recipe. She likes to serve it alongside her Chile Jam Chicken, which I have posted as a separate recipe. Delicious side dish! Note: this serves two, but you can easily increase the amounts."

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil, melted
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, room temperature (if it's cold, the coconut oil will solidify on contact)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• salt, to taste
• 1 medium sweet potato, scrubbed and cut into one-inch chunks
• 2 medium peaches, pitted and sliced into4 wedges each
• 1 medium sweet onion, peeled and quartered

directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degress F.
2. In a bowl, whisk the coconut oil, syrup, cinnamon and salt. Put the potato and peaches in 2 separate bowls. Pour 3/4s of the syrup mixture over the sweet potato and 1/4 over the peaches and toss each. Spread the potato in an even layer in a large baking dish and roast for 10 minutes. Toss the potato and roast for 5 minutes more. Add the onion and roast for 15 minutes. Toss the potato and onion, add the peaches in an even layer, and roast 10 minutes, or until the potato and onion are fork tender and the peaches have caramelized.

Rather than heating up the house, I made these on the grill. With one burner going to create indirect heat, it took a little longer than instructed, but that's ok! DH and I both thoroughly enjoyed them!

Absolutely Fabulous potatoes! My favorite part is how well the peaches and coconut oil incorporated great flavors in this dish. I did have to adjust the segmented cooking times. This is a terrific dish and one I definitely will be making again! Thank you LIG for sharing a winner! Made it for Autumn Fever-2019.

Peaches are great with roasted sweet potatoes. As is maple syrup. Everyone liked this.

I absolutely love roasted sweet potatoes and the peaches are a real bonus. Of course, I made more than the recipe called for and adjusted the coconut oil and maple syrup accordingly. I elected not to add the onions; although I think caramelized onions are fab. Made for the For Your Consideration tag game.
