What You’ll Need to Make the Roasted Fall Vegetables:
Apples: Fall often means apple season! I am a huge fan of apple season and making sweet, cooked apples. I do this by sautéeing the apples in coconut oil and cinnamon. The apples soften, become warm and fragrant, and taste sooo good. The apples add some sweetness to this overall savory recipe. I use honey crisp apples in this recipe.
Vegetables: The fall vegetables in this recipe are brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes. I love roasting sweet potatoes in avocado oil with salt and pepper. It is so simple, yet delicious. You can either bake the sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts in the oven or you can cook them in the air fryer. I love cooking brussel sprouts in the air fryer. They come out with the perfect amount of crispiness and cook so quickly. If you have an air fryer, I recommend cooking brussel sprouts in it.
Nuts: You will need either walnuts or pecans for this recipe. The nuts are lightly toasted in a frying pan with coconut oil. This makes them perfectly fragrant and taste so delicious.
Oils: You will need avocado oil and coconut oil for this recipe. The avocado oil is used to cook the brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes. The coconut oil is used to sauté the apples and toast the nuts.
Spices: You will need salt, pepper, and cinnamon spice to make this healthy fall recipe.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cut the sweet potato into cubes. Half the brussel sprouts and remove the stems. Place the sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts on a baking dish mixed with ~2 tbsp of avocado oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for ~45 minutes or until the potatoes are soft with crispy edges and the brussel sprouts are crispy. Alternatively, cook in the air fryer for ~20 mins.
3. Cut the honey crisp apple into small slices. In a frying pan, sauté the apple slices in 1 tsp of coconut oil and cinnamon. Cook until the apple slices have softened and become fragrant.
4. Remove the apple slices from the pan and place off to the side. In the same pan, add the 1/4 cup chopped nuts and cook on low heat until the nuts begin to darken and appear “toasty.”
5. Combine the brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, apples, and nuts into a bowl and mix together. Place a portion of the vegetable hash on a plate and enjoy!
