Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 small yellow onion
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp grapeseed or olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 2 medium acorn or delicata squash, scrubbed, sliced in half and seeded
  • chives, freshly snipped, for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425℉. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Place the onion, maple syrup, oil, black pepper, pepper flakes and sea salt in the work bowl of a food processor and process until a fine, wet mixture forms.
  3. Peel the sweet potatoes. Cut the potatoes and squash lengthwise and then into half-circles about 1/2-inch thick. Place the slices into a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Pour the onion mixture over the potato slices and stir to coat thoroughly.
  5. Place the potato and squash slices on the prepared baking sheets so that they are not touching each other. Bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Turn the slices over and bake them for about 10 to 15 minutes more, until they are golden brown and tender.
  7. To serve, place in a serving bowl and garnish generously with the snipped chives.
