Lots of chopping -- but sweet, gingery, and a hit all around. Could possibly serve on a bed of quinoa, rice, or arugula.

Ingredients Step
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment.
1.5" ginger
1-2 limes		 Grate/zest. Put aside ½ t. ginger and the zested limes for a vinaigrette.
2 c. pineapple chunks (20 oz. can, or half a pineapple)
2 sweet potatoes, cubed
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
2 T. brown sugar
2 T. oil
4 t. ginger, grated
zest of 1-2 limes
½ t. allspice/mace/cinnamon/nutmeg
salt
pepper		 Toss together until well combined. Roast until cooked and browning, about 30 minutes.
1 Field Roast Celebration Roast, cubed Halfway through roasting, stir pineapple mixture and add roast.
juice of 1-2 limes
1 clove garlic, grated
½ t. ginger
salt
pepper		 Combine. Slowly whisk in oil to create a vinaigrette.
