    Roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes with maple-dijon dressing is such a delicious side dish any time of year. But I especially love these festive veggies around the winter holidays.

    First off, if you can roast two types of vegetables on one sheet-pan, it makes life easier. Secondly, these jewel-toned veggies are just so pretty when topped with pecans, dried cranberries and sprigs of thyme.

    Ingredients

    Just 6 main ingredients: Two roasted veggies plus a quick dressing made from olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder and salt.

    labeled ingredients for roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts

    Toppings

    pecans, dried cranberries, thyme sprigs

    Pecans: Roasted or candied pecans are especially good. You can also use other roasted nuts like pistachios or almonds.

    Dried cranberries: A pop of color and sweet-tangy flavor! Dried cherries are even more delicious.

    Thyme sprigs: Instead of thyme, use chopped parsley or add sprigs of rosemary for visual appeal.

    Bacon: Cook a separate sheet-pan of bacon along with the roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, then crumble it on top before serving.

    Arugula: I really love to serve these veggies on a bed of peppery arugula. The recipe makes enough maple-dijon dressing so that you'll have extra to drizzle on top.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Cut Brussels sprouts in half and chop sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces

    Step 2: Whisk together olive oil, mustard, maple syrup, garlic powder and salt

    Step 3: Toss veggies in half of the Maple-Dijon dressing

    Step 4: Roast 35 to 45 minutes until veggies are nicely browned

    Step 5: Drizzle the remaining dressing over the roasted vegetables and top with pecans, dried cranberries and thyme. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    • Prep Time: 15 minutes
    • Cook Time: 35 to 45 minutes
    • Total Time: 1 hour
    • Yield: 6 servings 1x
    • Category: Side Dishes
    • Method: Roast
    • Cuisine: American
    • Diet: Vegan

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
    • 3 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
    • ½ cup olive oil
    • ¼ cup maple syrup
    • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

    Optional toppings: Pecans or walnuts, dried cranberries

    Instructions

    1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. For easier clean-up, line two sheet-pans with parchment.
    2. Trim bottom of Brussels sprouts and cut the sprouts in half
    3. Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthways then cut each piece in half lengthways again so you have 4 long wedges. If the potatoes are really wide, you might want to cut it into 5 or 6 wedges. Cut each wedge into 1-inch chunks.
    4. In a large bowl, combine the cut sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. 
    5. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt and garlic powder.
    6. Pour HALF of the dressing over the veggies, mixing as you pour to evenly coat everything. Set the remaining dressing aside. 
    7. Spread the Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes out evenly on the two baking sheets.
    8. Roast 35 to 45 minutes, stirring once or twice, until sweet potatoes are golden and sprouts are crispy around the edges.
    9. Drizzle some of the remaining dressing on top for more flavor, or serve the maple-dijon dressing on the side. Add more salt to taste.
    10. Serve these veggies hot or at room temperature. To make it festive, garnish with pecans or other roasted nuts, and/or dried cranberries and fresh herbs. Crumbled bacon and arugula are also delicious! 

    Notes

    If you're particular about the texture of your roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts, then it's better to roast them on separate sheet-pans, so you can take each vegetable out of the oven when it's perfectly cooked to your liking. First, put the raw sprouts and potatoes in separate bowls and toss each bowl with some of the dressing. Then spread the sweet potatoes out on one sheet-pan and the Brussels sprouts out on the other to roast.
