Equipment
2 - Full size rimmed baking sheets - important because you do not want to crowd your pans. This will result in streaming your vegetables and not roasting them for that crispy exterior and tend interior that you want from roasting.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 425° Fahrenheit. Get out a gallon sized resealable plastic ziplock or freezer bag.
Step 2: Set oven racks in upper and lower third of oven so you can use two baking sheets. (You do not want to overcrowd baking sheet this will steam not roast your veggies.)
Step 3: For maximum browning you’ll preheat the baking sheets. Place the unlined baking sheets in the oven while prepping the vegetables.
Step 4: Prep the brussels sprouts. Remove any yellow or wilted outer leaves. Trim the end off the sprouts, then cut in half lengthwise. Place in colander, rinse. Once drained place in bag and set aside.
Step 5: Prepare the sweet potatoes. Peel sweet potatoes. A y-peeler make quick and easy work of peeling the potatoes. Cut them in half, then cut into cubes and add to bag.
Step 6: Add oil, chili powder, thyme, salt and pepper to bag and mix thoroughly. Toss until evenly coated.
Step 7: Very carefully remove hot baking sheets from oven.
Step 8: Add vegetables to baking sheets and roast in the oven for 30-45 minutes, tossing vegetables once halfway through. Sweet Potatoes and brussels sprouts should be fork tender.
Variations
Add any of the following seasonings to give the dish even more depth and flavors:
- Garlic
- Sprigs of rosemary
- Red Pepper flakes
- Red & Yellow Bell Peppers
Look for bright green brussels sprouts. Avoid ones with yellow or wilted leaves. Pick smaller brussels sprouts, these are more tender than larger ones. The outer leaves should be tightly layered together. These same rules apply to picking fresh brussels sprouts on a stalk. If you purchase sprouts still on the stalk they will stay fresh longer than those sold individually too.
Look for medium sweet potatoes with firm, smooth and even-toned skin. Avoid sweet potatoes with any cracks, soft spots and blemishes on the surface of the potatoes. Store in a cool, dark, dry place at room temperature. Avoid storing in the refrigerator, which will result in a hard center and unpleasant taste.
Storage & Reheating
To Store. Cool before placing leftovers in an airtight storage container with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To Reheat. Reheat leftovers in microwave or reheat Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees until warm.
Prepare In Advance. Clean and chop vegetables ahead of time; store in large ziplock bag.
