Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts Ingredients

• Brussel Sprouts – You can find Brussel Sprouts in your local super, they even come on the stalk. Make sure the leaves are vibrant green and not bruised and brown.
• Sweet Potatoes – I used both orange and purple sweet purple but it is fine to use the more popular orange flesh sweet potatoes. 
• Olive Oil – a little olive oil to help with the caramelization of the vegetables. 
• Garlic – I love a lot of garlic, so I used 4 cloves. You can use more or less according to your taste. 
• Maple Syrup – I added the maple syrup to bring out the sweet flavors of this dish, you can substitute the maple syrup with agave. 
• Lemon Juice – balances out the sweet flavors giving a fresh, vibrant taste. You can substitute lemon juice with lime juice.
• Smoked Paprika – for a delicious smokey flavor this smoke paprika is amazing, you can substitute it with liquid smoke.
• Salt – sea salt is perfect to use. 

How To Make Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with lightly oiled parchment paper.
• Place Brussels sprouts, cubed sweet potatoes, olive oil, garlic, maple syrup, lemon juiced, smoked paprika, and salt in a large bowl and toss to fully coat.
• Spread veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, turning halfway until tender.

I added purple sweet potatoes just for the color so you can just use regular orange-fleshed sweet potatoes.

My son Daevyd was so fascinated with seeing Brussels Sprouts on their trunk,  I just had to capture the moment. I knew that he would most likely enjoy them once they are roasted.
