Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes
Roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes are cooked until golden and tender, tossed with olive oil and warm spices like cumin, garlic powder, and allspice. Finished with a drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar, crumbled feta cheese, and crunchy pecans, this vegetable side dish balances sweet, savory, and tangy flavors and offers a satisfying mix of textures.
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.
