Sweet potato and pineapple may not be an obvious combo, but the balance of earthy sweetness from the spuds and lip-puckering brightness of the juicy fruit are truly a match made in heaven. Here, this crave-worthy combo is mixed with maple syrup, ginger, and cloves before being topped with a crunchy oat and walnut crumble. Shredded coconut adds an extra layer of tropical intrigue, ensuring each bite transports you to a beachside cabana. Serve this unique pineapple crisp with Aquafaba Whipped Cream or banana nice cream for an extra decadent experience.
