Lemon-Roasted Broccoli and White Sweet Potatoes
I love roasted vegetables, and this is a great combination! White sweet potatoes have a subtle sweetness that complements broccoli's nutty flavor when roasted. When cut small enough, the sweet potatoes and broccoli are baked in 20 minutes or less!
Ingredients
- 11/2 pound broccoli preferably organic, florets separated into bite-size pieces
- 2 medium white sweet potatoes sliced in thin wedges about ¼ inch thick
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for oiling the pan
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil more oil to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt I use Redmond pink sea salt
- 1 teaspoon mixed seasoning of choice I like Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning salute
- ½ teaspoon paprika or more to taste
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Arrange the vegetables on an oiled baking sheet in a single layer.
- Drizzle with the oils - add more oil if there is not enough to coat the vegetables lightly. Mix them with your fingers if needed.
- Sprinkle the salt evenly over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the cumin and paprika over the white sweet potatoes.
- Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the vegetables.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the broccoli is softened and the sweet potatoes are slightly browned. If you are not eating this with a dish like my Beef Stroganoff, they are also delicious with a salad dressing or dip of your choice.
