Roasted Pineapple and Sweet Potato

This vibrant dish celebrates the rich culinary heritage of the African diaspora, featuring the versatile sweet potato. In West Africa, yams are a staple, prized for their nutrition. In the Americas, sweet potatoes, with their sweet and creamy flesh, became a beloved substitute.

This recipe simply blends the sweetness of sweet potato with the tropical tang of pineapple.

This dish is both flavorful and nutritious. Sweet potatoes, like yams, are packed with vitamins A and C, potassium and fiber. The addition of pineapple adds its own vitamins and antioxidants, making this a true taste of heritage and health.
