Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed, halved
- 1 lb sweet potato peeled, cubed
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the glaze:
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1½ tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional/adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it
- Toss Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes on a sheet pan, cut side facing down without crowding.
- Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- In the meantime, let's make the glaze.
- In a small bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, paprika, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven after roasting.
- Brush the veggies with the glaze and return the veggies to oven for 10 more minutes at the same 425°.
- Once the edges turned crispy, sweet potatoes tender, and remove the sheet pan from the oven and Enjoy!!
Notes
- Cut evenly for best roasting: Keep Brussels sprouts halved and sweet potatoes in similar-sized chunks so everything cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.
- Don’t overcrowd the sheet pan: Spread veggies in a single layer with space between them; this is the secret to getting those golden, crispy edges instead of steaming.
- Glaze timing matters: Add the glaze in the last 10 minutes of roasting so it caramelizes without burning.
- Make it a full meal: Pair with roasted chicken, salmon, or add cooked quinoa or rice to turn this into a hearty, balanced dinner.
