Beautifully seasoned and oven roasted to perfection, these healthy crispy Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli recipe is a game-changer for weeknight meals. The prep is quick, and it only takes about 30 minutes for the veggies to roast.
Preheat the oven to 425F and place a half sheet pan in the oven (this gives them a little extra crisp). Depending on how much you have, you might need to split between two pans. Peel the sweet potatoes and then cut them into 1 inch cubes, placing them in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the broccoli into bite size florets and add to the mixing bowl.
Toss veggies with oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Use a large slotted spoon or your hands to mix everything together, making sure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. If desired (for easier clean up) line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Evenly spread the broccoli and sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet.
Roast for 30-40 minutes. Rotate the sheet pan(s) halfway through roasting, and toss veggies with spatula.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
