Sweet Potatoes with Fruit
This favorite holiday side dish gets its sweetness from apples, honey, and a pear--not the traditional high-calorie butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows.
Ingredients
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into about 2x1/2-inch slices (about 2 cups)

2 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced or cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
-
1 large pear, cored and sliced or cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
-
1 large red onion, coarsely chopped
-
2 tablespoons honey
-
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
-
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
