Ingredients

For the Vegetables

  • ½ pound Brussels sprouts - trimmed and halved
  • 2 sweet potatoes - diced into small 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt + black pepper - to season
  • Fresh parsley - to garnish

For the Tahini Sauce (optional)

  • 2 cloves garlic - minced
  • ½ cup tahini - (sesame paste)
  • 3 tablespoon fresh parsley - minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ lemon - juiced
  • Water to thin - if needed
  • salt - to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the vegetables: Arrange the halved Brussels sprouts and diced sweet potatoes on a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding.
  • Season and roast: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
  • Make the tahini sauce (optional): While the vegetables roast, whisk together the garlic, tahini, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Add water gradually until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
  • Serve: Remove the vegetables from the oven. Drizzle with tahini sauce or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra parsley, salt, and pepper if desired.

Notes

  • This recipe is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free.
  • Cut evenly: Chop your Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes into similar-sized pieces to ensure they roast evenly and finish cooking at the same time.
  • Use oil sparingly: A light coating of olive oil is all you need. Using too much can make your veggies soggy, greasy, and overly heavy.
  • Different textures are normal: Don’t expect Brussels sprouts to be as soft as sweet potatoes. They’re meant to stay firm with crisp, caramelized edges.
  • Line the pan: For easy cleanup, line your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper before roasting.
  • Variations: You may also drizzle with balsamic vinegar and/or top with crumbled feta cheese. For a sweeter holiday side dish, drizzle with maple syrup and add toasted pecans. See more suggestions in the full post.
