Place them in a bowl or a plastic bag, add vegetable oil, spices, and shake the bowl to spread the oil and spices over the veggies.

Note: you can do it separately for the potatoes and sprouts in case one of your family members don’t like either of them.

My family finds them both delicious made this way, so I do them together.

Spread the vegetables on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. You can add hot red pepper flakes on top if you like spicy šŸ˜‰

The nutritionalĀ benefits of sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are high in fiber which helps digestion. Similar to other orange-colouredĀ vegetables,Ā they are a great source of vitamin A which is good for your skin and eyes. They are also a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, iron, and manganese. [source]

Despite of their sugar and starch content, they are still considered good to include in your ‘5-veggies a day’ recommended intake.

The nutritionalĀ benefits of Brussels sprouts

Low calories, rich in antioxidants and vitamin K, Brussels sprouts are great food if weight loss is one of your goals. They help ironĀ absorption due to the high content of vitamin C, increase collagen production (=good for your skin), and decrease inflammation and sugar levels.

There have been multiple studies done connecting Brussels sprouts to cancer prevention and detoxification. [source]

Overall Recipe Nutritional Benefits

The starchy sweet potatoes pair greatly with Brussels sprouts. They are really complementary in this recipe balancing each other for the sugar levels and iron with vitamin C digestion.

If you are a follower of the whole foods diets, you can omit avocado oil in this recipe. Although, I like using avocado oil for my cooking as an additional source of omega-3 and omega-6. Its smoke point is one of the highest which makes it suitable for high-temperature cooking. It is actually one of the best cooking oils on the market now, though it is on the pricier side as well.
