How do I slice the sweet potatoes hasselback style without cutting all the way through?

To achieve the hasselback slices, cut the sweet potatoes as thinly as possible, stopping just short of cutting through the bottom. You can place chopsticks on either side of the potato to act as a guide and prevent cutting too deep.

Can I use frozen cranberries for the apple cranberry relish?

The recipe specifies fresh cranberries, but frozen cranberries could likely be used if thawed and chopped. Ensure they are well-drained before mixing with the apples, orange juice, and cinnamon.

How do I know when the hasselback sweet potatoes are fully cooked?

After the initial 30 minutes, the potatoes bake for another 15-30 minutes. They are done when they are soft and cooked through, which you can test with a fork. Baking time varies based on potato size and oven.

What kind of mustard should I use for the sweet mustard sauce?

The recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of mustard with no sugar added. A Dijon or yellow mustard without added sweeteners would work well, then adjust the sweetness with stevia to your taste.

Can I prepare the apple cranberry relish ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the apple cranberry relish in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The flavors may even meld further.

How to Prepare Hasselback Sweet Potatoes With Apple Cranberry Relish [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Slice the sweet potatoes as thinly as possible - I've seen people set them on top of chopsticks to avoid going all the way through the potato, but if you're careful, the chopsticks aren't necessary!
Set the sliced potatoes in an oven safe casserole dish or on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
To make the apple cranberry relish, simply dice the apple and cranberries into small pieces. You could also use a blender or food processor until they're in fine pieces. Add orange juice and cinnamon and stir to combine.
After 30 minutes, take the potato out of the oven and carefully spoon some of the apple/cranberry relish into the cracks of the potatoes.
Put the potatoes back into the oven to bake for another 15-30 minutes, until the potato is soft and cooked through - this will vary based on the size of your potato/variance in oven temperatures, so just watch it!
Remove the potatoes from the oven when tender and allow to cool - top with more apple/cranberry relish and sweet mustard sauce to serve.
