Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
⅓ vanilla bean
¼ cup olive oil
1 large sweet potato, peeled and halved
1 large Red Delicious apple, unpeeled
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with nonstick spray.
  • Split vanilla bean lengthwise with the tip of a sharp knife. Holding the pod open, scrape seeds from each half using the flat side of your knife.
  • Combine vanilla bean, scraped seeds, and olive oil in a small saucepan over very low heat. Warm the oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut sweet potato and apple into noodles using a spiralizer. Place in a large bowl.
  • Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ginger together in a small bowl. Drizzle over sweet potato and apple; toss well to coat.
  • Spread sweet potato and apple in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, turning once, until golden, about 10 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Roast until ends of sweet potato start to brown and toast, 5 to 10 minutes more.
