Maple Roasted Sweet Potato and Brussel Sprouts
Description
Maple Roasted Sweet Potato and Brussel Sprouts starts by preparing cubed peeled sweet potatoes and trimmed, halved Brussels sprouts. These are tossed with a dressing of olive oil, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper for a sweet, spicy glaze.
The vegetables are roasted at 425°F on a parchment-lined sheet pan until tender and slightly crispy, usually 30 to 40 minutes. The maple syrup combines with the warm cinnamon for subtle sweetness balanced by salt and pepper, which complements the earthy Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes.
This roasted vegetable dish pairs well with roasted meats or can be enjoyed as a vegetarian side. The dish benefits from using pure maple syrup, though honey can be substituted, altering the flavor slightly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a 350°F oven to restore warmth and texture.
Ingredients
- 2 - 3 medium sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized 1-inch cubes. Trim the ends off and halve the brussel sprouts. Place both on the lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt.
- Pour the glaze over the sweet potatoes and brussel sprout. Use a spatula or your hands to toss. Make sure everything is coated.
- Roast for 30 - 40 minutes, or until your desired doneness & crispiness.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Use pure maple syrup rather than pancake syrup for best flavor; honey is an alternative but changes dietary classification.
- Keep leftovers refrigerated up to 4–6 days in an airtight container.
- Reheat leftovers in a microwave for 30–60 seconds or in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes.
