Recipe

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 13″ x 9″ baking dish with cooking oil.

Step 2: Place the sweet potatoes and carrots in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Cook for 7 minutes at a boil, or until tender. Drain.

Step 3: Toss the sweet potatoes and carrots with the pineapple and cranberries. Place in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4: Combine the brown sugar, juice concentrate, oil, molasses and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 1 minute or until melted and smooth.

Step 5: Pour the sauce over the vegetables. Cover and bake for 15 minutes, or until heated through. Remove from the oven and toss the vegetables. Sprinkle the pecans over top. Garnish with parsley and sliced apple.
