Roasted Brussels Sprout and Sweet Potato Hash is the perfect sheet pan side dish. Bright and colorful vegetables roasted with a sweet and spicy glaze make a sumptuous combination.
Coming up with new and exciting side dishes is a great pleasure of mine. When I work on main courses, I sometimes get locked into the routine of chicken, fish, meat, etc., and while there are endless possibilities cooking almost anything; taking a trip down the produce aisle and dreaming up great vegetable side dishes always gets my creative juices flowing.
I think it is just the color in the produce section that really excites me. Vegetables are so bright and exciting. This dish really started with color first. I know that sounds silly, because you can't eat color, but the bright green brussels sprouts, orange sweet potato, red pepper, and purple (red) onion just had to be together.
The sweet potato is a little sweet. Brussels sprouts are a little bitter. Red onion is a little spicy, and red bell pepper has a little tang. Once you add the sweet and spicy glaze, this Roasted Brussels Sprout and Sweet Potato hash really sings.
This is one of my favorite combinations. Try Roasted Glazed Carrots and Herb and Honey Crusted Rack of Lamb for more sweet and spicy combinations.
Make this Recipe!
There is beauty in the simplicity of this recipe. The very simple ingredients come together to create extraordinary flavor.
I love to make this as an alternative to more traditional Thanksgiving side dishes. It can take the place of two sides. Instead of making a sweet potato side dish and a green vegetable side dish, you can make one large dish. This is great if you have limited oven space.
The colors of the roasted vegetables are beautiful fall colors and are a gorgeous addition to a holiday table.
You only need a little of each item to make a rather large recipe. This makes it a budget friendly recipe to share with your friends and family.
I make Roasted Brussels Sprout and Sweet Potato hash at least twice a month, holidays or no! My family loves the tender sweet potatoes, crisp edges on the brussels sprouts and all the zing from the glaze.
I especially love that this recipe leaves lots of leftovers and reheats really well. I love having these leftovers in the fridge because I know I will have a healthy, delicious lunch the next day.

FAQs
Brussels sprouts are very simple to clean. The tight ball shape and that fact that they grow above the ground prevents dirt from getting inside the leaves. Simply, fill a bowl with ice water and let the brussels sprouts sit in the bowl completely covered with water for a minute or two. Any dirt on the outside will sink to the bottom and the ice water will crisp up the leaves for cooking.
The bottoms of the brussels sprouts should be trimmed and any bruised or yellowed outer leaves should be discarded. Cutting brussels sprouts in half will expose the center leaves and make sure that the entire thing is tender. Large brussels sprouts should be quartered so that they are bite sized.
