    Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Ham

    This is my new favorite dish! I made it the night before a competition this weekend and then made it again Sunday for something quick to grab out of the fridge.

    I don't normally add lots of things when I roast veggies but the addition of the maple syrup and spices really compliment the sweet potatoes and ham. I roasted it just to the brink of burnt, helping the caramelization process and really drawing out even more flavor.

    Of course no one in the house likes this but me. I think I can convert the kids in time but The Husband's indifference towards sweet potatoes is here to stay. He's just not a fan.

    Here's what I did...

    Ingredients

    • 2 sweet potatoes, cut into about ¾-inch cubes (600g)
    • 10 oz ham, cut into ¾-inch cubes
    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (14g) (Your favorite oil will be fine)
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (20g)
    • ~¼ tablespoon molasses (5g)
    • 2 teaspoon dried rosemary
    • 1 teaspoon allspice

    Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 425 Degrees.

    Throw everything in a bowl and toss to coat.

    Line and spray a large cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Pour the potatoes onto the cookie sheet and spread out as much as possible.

    Roast for 40-45 minutes tossing once or twice.

    That's it!

      I just made this tonight and it was so good! I used Hormel Extra Lean ham (just because I had it) and fresh rosemary, and it was so flavorful. Loved it. Thanks Ronnie, and I appreciate the PP values too.

        This time I used what was labeled "Cottage" ham but I've used just plain old deli ham cut into cubes. You can really use anything you like.
