Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

APPLE - SWEET POTATO BAKE

My late Aunt Donna used to frequent farmer's markets during various local produce seasons, and she would find the best local recipes whenever she did.

Prep and cook time do not reflect time for cooking sweet potatoes.
