Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 3 cups)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice (for extra flavor, optional)

Optional Add-Ins:

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for a cheesy touch)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or almonds (for crunch)
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (for an herby twist)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. After 15 minutes, add the broccoli to the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes. Toss everything together and spread evenly.
  3. Continue roasting for 15 more minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the broccoli is slightly crispy.
