How to roast brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes together
Now I’ll walk you through it…
Quick look at recipe
- Preheat the oven and mix ingredients in a 9×9 square ceramic baking pan.
- Bake brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes in the oven, flipping regularly for 30-40 minutes at 425 degrees F.
- Remove from the oven when they’re slightly caramelizing and are soft enough to pierce with a fork.

Detailed step by step
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Add all the ingredients to a 9×9 square ceramic baking pan or small casserole dish. Start with the vegetables, then add the herbs and seasonings. Add the ghee and drizzle with olive oil. Use a large spoon or spatula to mix Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes in with all the seasonings. Once vegetables are coated, move a couple of the large chunks of ghee or butter to the top, so they melt into the veggies as they cook.
- Bake brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes together in the oven for about 30-40 minutes at 425 degrees F. While roasting the veggies, make sure to take the baking pan out of the oven and stir around the ingredients about every 10 minutes as they cook. This will help them cook evenly and redistribute the ghee / butter and olive oil.
- How to tell when they’re done roasting. Once sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts are soft enough to pierce with a fork (sample a few of them to make sure they’re ready), remove them from the oven. Serve in the dish or a large bowl and enjoy.

FAQs
Instead of buying a bunch of individual fresh herbs, you can usually find them together in a “variety pack” with just a few sprigs of each. You’ll usually find this blend as a “fresh herbs for poultry seasoning pack” at the store.
No, you can use dry seasonings for this veggie dish. What I recommend is substituting 1 or 2 teaspoons of Italian seasonings blend, or any herb seasonings you’d like.
Yes, but with more space between the veggies, they will “dry out” a bit more and roast differently. I like to make veggies in a baking dish lately because they still get a bit crispy and caramelized, but they’re more steamed and evoke more of a comfort food vibe. Roasting them to golden brown on a sheet may decrease the time needed to cook the veg closer to 30 minutes.
Try my creamy jalapeno ranch sauce. Or serve them up with a little maple syrup for a modern Thanksgiving menu or a balsamic glaze for a sweet touch.
