Main Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes These naturally sweet, creamy delights are full of vitamins.
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced The tartness of this apple perfectly complements the sweet potatoes.
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries Adds a lovely chewy texture and tart burst of flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup Use real maple syrup if possible for richer flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and cozy vibes.
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or vegan butter) Adds creaminess and rich flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors.
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish Adds freshness and color to the dish.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub sweet potatoes clean and prick each one a couple of times with a fork.
  • Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper for easier cleanup) and roast for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
  • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a tablespoon of butter in a sauté pan over medium heat and sauté diced apples until just tender (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Stir in cranberries, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Warm through for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove roasted sweet potatoes from the oven, slice in half lengthwise, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a small border.
  • Mash the sweet potato flesh with the remaining butter and a bit of salt until fluffy. Fold in the sautéed apple-cranberry mixture.
  • Spoon mixture back into sweet potato skins, overfilling slightly. Place back on baking sheet and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
  • Let sit for a minute after removing from oven and garnish with fresh rosemary before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven. For meal prep, you can bake and stuff ahead, then freeze and bake from frozen when ready to serve.
