Notes
Storage and Make Ahead:
To store: Allow leftovers to cool and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
To reheat: Microwave the veggies on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes until piping hot. Alternatively, place on a lined tray and warm in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes.
Make ahead: Prep the veggies and toss with the seasonings and olive oil in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days before tipping out onto a lined sheet pan and roasting as usual.
Variations and Tips:
Use a large enough roasting pan to make sure that the vegetables aren't crowded. This will give you the crispiest roasted vegetables.
Cut the sweet potatoes into pieces no larger than 1/2-inch so that they cook at the same rate as the Brussels sprouts.
Only trim the very end of the base of each Brussels sprout off. If you cut too much off the base, the leaves will separate.
For even browning, toss the veggies halfway through the cook time.
Make a salad with the roasted veggies by dressing them with balsamic vinegar and tossing in toasted pecans, crumbled feta cheese and dried cranberries.
Before serving, add a squeeze of lemon juice and a shower of shredded Parmesan cheese to the roasted veggies.
