Wow, it’s November! It seems like it was just yesterday that I was complaining about summer ending. And now we’re smack-dab in the middle of fall.
Fall! When everything is pumpkin flavored!
Fall! When The Real Housewives of Atlanta is back on TV!
Fall! When sweet potatoes are plentiful!
So I decided to come up with a delicious sweet potato recipe for you. I thought to myself, “Hey! It’s fall! And I haven’t posted any sweet potato recipes yet this season!”
Then while I was editing the photos for this post, I realized: oh, I did sweet potato gnocchi last week. I did do a sweet potato recipe this season. Oops. I guess since it was pasta, somehow it didn’t feel like a sweet potato recipe. Or something.
But that’s okay, right? Because we can all use easy side dish ideas and that’s exactly what this Apple Cider Glazed Sweet Potatoes recipe is–easy! The potatoes are roasted in the oven until they’re tender and then glazed with an apple cider reduction. Simple!
Back on the subject of fall, are you following my Fall Recipes board on Pinterest? I’m collecting all kinds of tasty fall foods there.
Oven-roasted sweet potatoes glazed with an apple cider reduction.

I love how simple this recipe is and apples sound like they would go perfectly with sweet potatoes.
That reduction sounds incredible!! I think this is something I need to try
I love apple cider like nobody’s business. Seriously, I could chug a jug a day if my conscience would let me. And I really like sweet potatoes so I’ll have to make this soon.
We have a big jug in the fridge right now. Think I might throw a cinnamon stick in a saucepan and heat some up tonight.
I love sweet potatoes, and these look delicious. I love the glaze. I happen to have all of the ingredients on hand, so this recipe is happening this weekend.
I hope you like them! Roasted sweet potatoes are good to begin with, but apple cider makes everything even better.
I love this as an alternative to the marshmallow mess of my youth!
I love sweet potatoes in any way shape or form! But I also love that bowl… who makes it?
Thank you! It’s from Anthropologie. Here’s the link: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-tabletop-dinnerware/873034.jsp
I have made these several times and have a batch in the oven right now. This is by far my new favorite way to eat sweet potatoes! My husband likes things sweet so I add some brown sugar to the cider before reducing, and it’s fantastic. Thank you for this tasty and simple dish!
I’m so glad you enjoy them!
would this work with winter squashes too? why not… going to try I think….
I think it would work well with winter squash too!
