Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes
Description
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes combine nutrient-dense vegetables with a blend of spices that enhance their natural flavors. The Brussels sprouts are trimmed and halved, while the sweet potato is chopped into ½-inch chunks to ensure even roasting. Olive oil and a seasoning mix including garlic powder, cumin, allspice, and sea salt coat the vegetables before roasting at 400°F for 30 to 45 minutes. Stirring halfway through helps achieve an even, golden-brown finish and tender interior.
Once roasted, the vegetables are served with a sprinkle of raw pecans and crumbled feta cheese, which add contrasting crunch and creamy salts. A balsamic vinegar reduction is cooked separately and drizzled over the top, bringing acidity and sweetness that lift the dish. This side pairs well with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 1 sweet potato chopped into ½-inch chunks, large
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- Pinch allspice
- 3/4 teaspoon salt to taste, sea salt
- ¼ cup pecans raw
- 1/3 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the brussels sprouts, sweet potato, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, allspice, and sea salt to a small casserole dish (8" x 8" or 9" x 13" will both work!). Toss everything together to coat the veggies.
- Place on the center rack of the oven and bake 30 to 45 minutes, stirring once half-way through, or until veggies are golden-brown and cooked through.
- In a small saucepan, heat the balsamic vinegar over medium-high and bring to a full boil. Cook at a full (but controlled) boil, stirring frequently, until vinegar is reduced by 1/2 of its original volume, about 5 minutes.
- Taste veggies for flavor and add salt to taste. Serve roasted veggies with pecans, feta, and balsamic reduction drizzled on top.
