Steps

1

Prep and Season

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into approximately 2 cm cubes. Clean the Brussels sprouts, cut them in half, and quarter larger ones. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. If using, add the maple syrup as well.

2

Roast

Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they don't overlap. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, and the Brussels sprouts are crispy and golden brown. Halfway through, shake or toss the vegetables to ensure even cooking.

3

Serve

Remove from the oven and serve immediately. It's an excellent side dish for roasts, fish, or can be enjoyed on its own as a light dinner.

Extra Tips

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet! If there are too many vegetables, bake them in two batches to ensure they get nice and crispy.

Experiment with spices! A pinch of rosemary or thyme also goes wonderfully with this dish.

Drizzle with a little balsamic glaze or lemon juice before serving for an even fresher taste.
