Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet or large roasting pan with parchment paper.

Peel sweet potatoes, and cut into 1-inch chunks. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.

Transfer sweet potatoes to baking sheet with a slotted spoon. (Set aside bowl with remaining vinegar spice mixture for use with pears.)

Bake about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, core pears and cut into 1-inch chunks. Place pears in bowl with reserved balsamic vinegar and spice mixture; toss until evenly coated.

Add pears to baking sheet with potatoes and continue to bake until pears are golden and potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 minutes.
