Q: The Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Apples at OK Take-Away is a delicious blend of flavors, isn’t sweet, and is a wonderful accompaniment for many meats. I would greatly appreciate your help.
-- Ann Edwards, Atlanta

A: This has been a big hit, says general manager Rachel Douglass. “One of the chefs came up with it, and it was wonderful and everybody loves it,” she said. “It’s healthy, it’s not oily and it’s just fresh.”

Hands on time: 15 minutes  Total time: 1 hour  Serves: 4

Ingredients:

    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

    1 1/2 teaspoons packed brown sugar

    1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

    2 tablespoons olive oil

    1/2 cup apple cider

    1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary

    1 bay leaf

    3/4 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

    2 Granny Smith apples, quartered, cored and cut into thick slices

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In the baking dish, combine the mustard, brown sugar, ginger, olive oil, cider, rosemary and bay leaf. Add the sweet potatoes and apples and stir well to coat. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the apples are golden brown and the sweet potatoes are tender.

Notes:

Rosemary and mustard are the surprise ingredients that give this hot side dish its savory-sweet appeal.

Serve it with pork or poultry for a nice dinner, or to accompany chicken soup or corn chowder for a hot lunch.
