SIMPLY ROASTED APPLES & POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Slice your potatoes in half. Slice again so each potato is in four pieces. If your potato is fairly large you may need to cut some of them one more time. You want your potato pieces to be about the same size as the apple slices.
• Add the potato pieces to a large ziplock bag or large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, basil, rosemary, salt, ground mustard, garlic powder, and pepper. If using a bag, squeeze out excess air, seal, and shake until potato pieces are coated. If using a bowl, stir and flip potato pieces until they're coated.
• Spread coated potatoes on a 12 x 17 baking sheet.
• Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. (We are not fully cooking the potatoes at this point.)
• Slice apples into quarters, removing and discarding the core and seeds.
• Remove pan from oven. Add sliced apples. Use spatula to flip the potatoes and move the apples around so they too are coated with oil. Spread everything in a single layer.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are done. They should give a little when you press them.
• Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes generously with some olive oil, salt, cinnamon and cayenne. Lay the sweet potatoes out on a sheet tray, place them in the oven and roast until they are very soft and mushy, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Peel the apples and cut into 1-inch dice. Toss the apples with the lemon juice, some olive oil, salt and the rosemary. Lay them out on a sheet tray and place in the oven during the last 15 minutes of the cooking time for the sweet potatoes. When done, the apples should be soft and cooked through but still hold their shape. Sprinkle the walnuts over the apples during the last 5 minutes in the oven.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl and coarsely mash them with a potato masher. Stir in the cooked apples and walnuts. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Serve immediately or keep in a warm oven and serve hot.
