Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 large apple (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 small yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Core and dice the apple into similar-sized cubes. Do not peel the apple unless preferred.

Step 3

Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 6

Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cinnamon. Stir to coat the sweet potatoes evenly with the spices.

Step 7

Cook the sweet potatoes for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become tender and slightly browned.

Step 8

Add the diced apple and fresh thyme leaves to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 7-10 minutes, or until the apples and sweet potatoes are fully tender and caramelized.

Step 9

Stir in the butter, if using, to enhance the richness of the dish. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve warm as a main or a side.
