Roasted Vanilla Sweet Potatoes and Apples Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 0.33 vanilla bean
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and halved
• 1 large Red Delicious apple, unpeeled
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• ground ginger

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Use a sharp knife to slice the vanilla bean lengthwise. Open the pod and scrape out the seeds from each half using the flat side of your knife.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the vanilla bean, the scraped seeds, and the olive oil. Warm the oil over very low heat until it becomes fragrant, approximately 5 minutes. Then, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
4. Use a spiralizer to cut the sweet potato and apple into noodle shapes. Place the noodles in a large bowl.
5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ginger. Drizzle this mixture over the sweet potato and apple noodles, and toss well to ensure they are evenly coated.
6. Arrange the sweet potato and apple noodles in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, turning the noodles once, until they turn golden. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C) and continue roasting until the ends of the sweet potato begin to brown and toast, for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
