Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes, sliced 1 1/2 inches thick

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Coarse salt

2 Bartlett pears, cored, quartered, and halved

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub potatoes. Quarter lengthwise; slice diagonally 1 1/2 inches thick. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss slices with olive oil, dry mustard, ground ginger, and cayenne; season with coarse salt. Roast, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Core and quarter 2 Bartlett pears; halve crosswise. Add to the potatoes; toss all with another tablespoon oil. Continue roasting until potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes more.
