Notes
Once you try these brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes you'll want to try some other variations:
- Spicy Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes - chop up some fresh chili peppers, or use some dried chili peppers, add a sprinkle of brown sugar for a sweet & spicy flavor combination.
- Parmesan Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes - Toss the brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes with shredded parmesan cheese and extra garlic for a truly delicious combo.
- Maple Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes - This is one of my favorites. Half way through the roasting time, drizzle or baste maple syrup over the roasting vegetables. Perfection.
