Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli cut into florets
  • 2 cups cauliflower cut into florets
  • Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp garlic powder more as needed
  • 2 tsp cinnamon more as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare a large baking sheet: line with parchment paper or foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place your cauliflower and broccoli florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil to lightly coat. Season with fresh cracked black pepper and garlic powder and toss until oil and seasonings are evenly distributed. Transfer seasoned veggies to prepared baking sheet.
  • Wipe out the bowl with a paper towel. Add chopped sweet potatoes to the bowl, and repeat the same steps, except season with cinnamon. (Prefer a savory flavor or making sweet potato fries? Add chili powder, paprika, garlic powder and salt and pepper.) Again, toss until oil and seasonings are evenly distributed and sweet potatoes are lightly coated. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  • Make sure there is enough room on the pan for the veggies to be slightly spread out. If they are too crowded on the pan, they will steam, not roast. If needed, use two medium sized baking pans and evenly distribute the veggies.
  • Place in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Set a timer for 15 minutes so you can toss them halfway through using a spatula. Remove them around the 30 minute mark when they are slightly browned and tender crisp. Cook for more or less time, depending on your preference.
  • Serve hot. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave OR to get them nice and crispy again, reheat in an air fryer for a few minutes.
