Balsamic Drizzled Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts

Ok this one is a no brainer side…I enjoyed the combination of sweet and salty…and its appealing to the eyes. What do you think? I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

For 4 people.

  • 1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 cups mini Brussels sprouts, cut into halves
  • 2 tsp. garlic seasoning (texture of minced dried garlic pieces)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • balsamic glaze to drizzle (see below for recipe to make)
  1. Combine olive oil, cinnamon, garlic seasoning and pepper in a large bowl.  Add the cut Brussels sprouts and sweet potato cubes and coat well.
  2. Spread on a parchment covered baking tray. Spread so that none of the vegetables are overlapping.  Convect bake at 380 F for 40 min turning halfway.  Test to see if sweet potatoes are cooked through before removing.
  3. Allow to cool at room temperature and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.  Balsamic glaze can be made by bringing 2 cups balsamic vinegar and 1/2 cup brown sugar to a boil and then reducing heat to low and cooking for another 20 min longer.  Once the reduction has cooled, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
