1. Oven Heating
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F, setting the stage for even roasting.
2. Tossing Sweet Potatoes and Pears
Arrange the sweet potatoes and pears on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the vegetable oil and mirin, then toss to ensure all pieces are well-coated with the mixture.
3. Adding Flavors
Sprinkle the maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt over the coated sweet potatoes and pears. Scatter the pecan halves across the top and toss everything again to distribute the flavors evenly.
4. Initial Bake
Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil to retain moisture and roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
5. Incorporating Raisins
Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the golden raisins over the sweet potatoes and pears. Gently mix with a spatula, taking care not to mash the sweet potatoes.
6. Final Roast
Return the baking sheet to the oven, uncovered this time, and continue roasting for another 30 minutes, tossing occasionally to ensure even caramelization.
7. Enjoy Warm
Once finished roasting, let the tzimmes cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature to bring out the full symphony of flavors.
