Description
Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts are a delicious, healthy side dish featuring crispy Brussels sprouts and tender sweet potatoes, seasoned with cumin, garlic, and a hint of balsamic vinegar. Perfect for meal prep or a quick side for any meal.
Ingredients
1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed)
1 large sweet potato (1 pound)
2 cloves garlic (smashed)
⅓ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon salt
Black pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
Fresh thyme (to garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim Brussels sprouts by cutting off the brown end and removing damaged leaves. Cut large sprouts in half and place in a large bowl.
- Peel and chop the sweet potato into 1-2 inch pieces and add to the same bowl with the Brussels sprouts.
- Smash the garlic cloves and add to the bowl with the vegetables.
- Pour olive oil over vegetables, then add cumin, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Drizzle olive oil on a sheet pan and rub it to prevent sticking. Spread vegetables in a single layer on the pan.
- Roast for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until the veggies are brown and tender.
- Toss with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and garnish with fresh thyme.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For a spicy version, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
For a slightly sweeter finish, drizzle balsamic glaze before serving.
For added flavor, use rosemary or sage in place of thyme.
