Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes

Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes – a colorful side dish of roasted brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, topped with a Balsamic drizzle. It screams healthy and lick-your-fingers good – all at the same time!

Roasting Veggies is easy, tasty, and healthy!

It’s time to get our healthy on. My Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes are just what you (and me) need to jumpstart our healthy eating. Summer…here we come!

This is a pretty large recipe. The measuring cup below is 10-cups, and I filled it with about eight cups of each the brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. You could, of course, scale back to however much you want to make. We love leftovers so I usually make extra, especially when healthy ingredients are involved.

Roast your veggies until they are soft, and slightly charred.

Below is what the veggies look like after you cook them. I use my convection oven when I roast my vegetables so my baking time might be off a bit. Just make sure they are fork tender and get nice and browned. If anyone else enjoys using a convection oven, please note that you should cover the veggies with tin foil for part of the baking time, to avoid burning them. (But some dark brown pieces are good.) I love how fast they cook using convection.

After the brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes are done to your liking, and the brussels sprouts are drizzled with the balsamic glaze pictured below, just toss them together so some of the glaze coats the sweet potatoes as well. Then drizzle just a bit more for presentation purposes.

Because presentation is everything.

The glaze!

The balsamic glaze is available on Amazon. I ordered the two-pack and it’s pretty cheap. However, you can also make a balsamic glaze by cooking balsamic vinegar and a little sugar together on the stovetop.

These brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes make a very tasty side dish. You could pair it with any protein for a complete and satisfying meal. I also love the leftovers and even enjoy them cold.

Be ready swimsuit season! We’re coming for ya. 🙂
