1 Prepare & roast the sweet potatoes:

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Transfer to a sheet pan.

3 Roast the brussels sprouts:

While the sweet potatoes continue to roast, line a separate sheet pan with foil. Place the quartered brussels sprouts in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
