04 - Pour the glaze over the sweet potatoes and apples. Toss until evenly coated.

05 - Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

06 - Roast for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and edges are caramelized.

07 - If desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

08 - Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh thyme if using, and serve warm.

01 -

The maple glaze caramelizes beautifully creating those crispy edges everyone fights over
It comes together in under an hour but tastes like you spent all day on it
The combination of sweet and savory somehow works with absolutely everything else on your plate

02 -

Stirring halfway through is nonnegotiable because the bottom pieces get the best color
Use fresh thyme instead of dried because the flavor is completely different

03 -

Cut your sweet potatoes and apples to the same size so everything finishes cooking together
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for the easiest cleanup ever
