Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Apples

Directions:

1. Wash hands with soap and water.
2. Preheat oven to 450 ⁰F.
3. Peel sweet potatoes. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Slice into ½ inch thick pieces.
4. Core the apple. Cut into bite-sized chunks.
5. In a 2-quart baking dish, add the sweet potatoes and apple. Drizzle vegetable oil over the mixture stirring to coat. Bake for 10 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and stir. Bake 10 minutes, or until tender. Potatoes are tender when they can be pierced with a fork. If they are still hard, stir and return to oven. Check every 5 minutes until tender.
7. When the potatoes are tender, drizzle with maple syrup and stir.
8. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
