Ingredients
-
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
-
1 cup baby carrots, halved if large
-
1 red bell pepper, sliced
-
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
-
1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
-
1 small red onion, sliced
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
-
Optional: 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the vegetables: peel and cube sweet potatoes, halve Brussels sprouts, slice bell peppers and red onion, and halve or trim carrots if needed. Place all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
-
Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
-
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
-
Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and edges of vegetables are slightly caramelized.
-
Transfer the medley to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, toss the roasted vegetables with balsamic glaze or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
-
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
-
Experiment with different herbs and spices, such as rosemary, sage, or cumin, to customize the flavor.
-
Use fresh sweet potatoes for the best texture and natural sweetness, but canned sweet potatoes can be used if drained and patted dry.
