Honey-Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Apples Recipe (2024)

I made this but after 20 minutes the apples were mush and the other veggies were charred. It tasted great but really need to watch closely to avoid over cooking.

I followed Heather's note and added apples 10 minutes before the sweet potatoes/carrots were finished. And while we love honey, thought I would take advantage of the natural sweetness of carrots/sweet potatoes/apples and did not add honey. It was perfect. Definitely a repeat recipe. Thanks Ali!

As others noted, make sure that you use a cooking apple for this recipe. Next time I make it, I will also put foil on the sheet pan. The baked on honey is really tough to clean up.

I would not label this as vegan if the name of the recipe has "honey." No true vegan eats honey.Using maple syrup is amazing, however.

I thought this would be good, but it was better than I thought! I had some old apples that were unappetizing for raw consumption (bruised), so used these. I used the maple syrup option and a cast iron pizza pan for roasting. I don’t know how long I put them in the oven for, but it felt quick, and they were perfect! It was also a pretty dish with the orange, red and white… I would serve to guests, and will make this again.

Delicious!I mixed grapeseed oil, maple syrup, salt in a bowl in quantities specified. Added carrot, sweet potato, pear, apple and tossed them in the bowl. Convection roasted (425) on parchment lined baking sheet. Took them out after 20 minutes. Some charring on the sweet potatoes and carrot. I loved the idea of eating healthy "candy". My dentist might not approve, but I will make this again and again

What is you roasted the vegetables for about 20 minutes before adding the apples?

Add thyme, a touch of cinnamon and sliced garlic.

I disagree with Shayne about not adding honey. The dish was lackluster and was not sweet enough so I will drizzle with maple syrup the next time I made this. The apples came out just right and not mushy.

Hi! This looks like amazing recipe. Can I cook half way through on thanksgiving day morning and cook all the way through later close to turkey time? just a thought. Cant wait to have it.! Is already in the oven

Easy to make and good. I halved the honey since the apples and yams are already sweet. After 15 minutes I turned the slices since the fruit was beginning to char.

Delicious. Used Asian pears for the fruit which are hard enough to not get too soft.

Any advice on making this ahead and reheating before dinner?

Could you do this in an air fryer?

OK. Burned on the bottom. Apples mush and sweet potato overcooked. As others said, 20 minutes, not 25-30. Add apples about 10 minutes before the end. Would try again.

High temperatures destroy the nutritional value of honey. Given how precious it is nowadays, I recommend alternatives unless the flavor of honey is essential, e.g. honey cake.

Quick, easy, and healthy. This was a great new side for Thanksgiving this year.

Used Honeycrisp apples, my favorite, and maple syrup (no honey). Turned out great!

Made an excellent discovery today. Had some leftovers of this dish that were refrigerated overnight. Today, threw them in the blender with some oat milk, and it made a wonderful soup! So if you make extras, you can get two tasty (yet distinct) meals!

I did the maple syrup route instead of honey and also added some of the ingredients suggested in the description. The lemon zest was lost, but the cinnamon and ginger were good adds. Added toasted walnuts after the cook (forgot) and can say based on leftovers they are a must-include in the cook. Following others’ suggestions, I added the apple (already coated) halfway through and they came out wonderfully. Next time I will cut the apple slices in half so I don’t have to look in people’s mouths.

Has anyone tried this in air fryer? Temp, time, use a foil sheet?

I made this with just apples (Winesap, past their out-of-hand prime). Maple syrup instead of honey, 15 minutes. They were very good but definitely need plenty of salt.
