Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Vegetables and Fruits
- 1 pound orange sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch width slices
- 3 cups California grapes
- 3/4 cup thinly sliced onion
Seasoning and Dressing
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- Snipped fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables and grapes evenly.
- Prepare the vegetables and grapes: Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick pieces for even cooking. Thinly slice the onion. Wash the grapes and remove any stems.
- Combine with dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper. Add the sweet potatoes, grapes, and onions to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces with the dressing.
- Arrange on sheet pan: Spread the coated sweet potatoes, grapes, and onions in a single layer on a large sheet pan to ensure proper roasting and caramelization.
- Roast in oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the grapes are caramelized and slightly blistered.
- Garnish and serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the dish with fresh snipped basil for a fragrant and colorful finishing touch. Serve warm as a side dish.
