Roasted Root Vegetables and Brussels Sprouts

September 25, 2013 By Lokness 16 Comments

Roasted Root Vegetables and Brussels Sprouts

Fall is here! I can feel the cool air. Woo hoo! That is really exciting! I love Fall! Until a few days ago, I didn’t think about why I love Fall. After some throughout thinking, I have finally figured it out. When the weather starts to get cold and the wind is blowing outside, it is nice to stay at home. Turn on the heater, drink a cup of hot chocolate, and cuddle up with the loved ones. It is cozy, warm and sweet! That home sweet home feeling is what I love.

To welcome the arrival of Fall, I have this roasted vegetables recipe for you. It is made with some seasonal vegetables, like brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. It is very easy, but flavorful with all the dried herbs. I also love the color of the dish. There are green, brown, orange, and white. Just amazing to look at. This is definitely a side dish I would make a lot at this Fall. Hope you will like it too!

Roasted Root Vegetables and Brussels Sprouts

Roasted Root Vegetables and Brussels Sprouts (Adapted from Giada De Laurentiis via Foodnetwork.com)

2 servings

Ingredients:

–   3 medium carrots (peeled, washed and cut into 1½-inch dices)

–   2 medium red potatoes (washed and cut into 1½-inch dices)

–   ¼ pound Brussels Sprouts (washed and halved)

–   1 medium parsnip (peeled, washed and cut into 1½-inch dices)

–   1 medium sweet potato (washed and cut into 1½-inch diced)

–   3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

–   ¼ heaping teaspoon dried oregano

–   ¼ heaping teaspoon dried rosemary

–   ¼ teaspoon dried thyme

–   ¼ teaspoon dried basil

–   sea salt

–   ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
  2. In a rimmed baking sheet, toss the vegetables with olive oil. Sprinkle all the dried herbs over the vegetables. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Toss again. If needed, add more olive oil. Spread the vegetables in a single layer. Bake in the oven for 38 – 42 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked and tender. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  1. You can substitute any root vegetables with other root vegetables, like butternut squash and yam.
  2. I didn’t try parsnip until this recipe. It has a mild taste with little sweetness. I loved it!
  3. Fresh herbs can be burned easily, so it is better to use dried ones.

    I have a passion for Brussels sprouts. We don’t see them here until nearly Christmas though (it’s still 35°C here at the moment). I can’t wait! Your roasted vegetables look delicious!

      I didn’t try brussels sprouts until a few months ago. Before that, I heard many people saying that they don’t like brussels sprouts. So I hesitated to try. After I tried it, I love it! It is just like cabbage, but with a stronger flavor. And they are so adorable! Hope you can get your hands in brussels sprouts soon! 🙂

    I love roasted vegetables, and especially all kinds of root veggies… I wish my family eats brussel sprouts like I do then we’d be eating more frequently! Very lovely fall dish!

      Yes, root vegetables are mostly sweet and some creamy. They are so good when roasted. If you made this dish, your can steal all the brussels sprouts to yourself, and leave your family everything else. 😀

We’re back at decorating Rose Parade floats this We’re back at decorating Rose Parade floats this year!🌹 Fluffing and gluing so many carnations for the Honda float. This time, we decided to come on a later date, & the vibe was totally different from last year. There were news crews, tons of volunteers, adorable rescue dogs (they’ll be on the Pasadena Humane float 🐾), & even Gayle King! Our legs & backs are aching right now, but honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Loved every minute of it! ❤️

Yesterday, we went to Disneyland and Disney Califo Yesterday, we went to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Festive, & luckily, it wasn’t too crowded. I went in with a long list of foods to try, but by 4 PM, we were already stuffed! Here are some of our favorites:

1. Mickey Gingerbread - The most popular holiday treat! We’ve had this before & loved it just as much this time around. It’s soft & chewy with ginger and warm spices. And let’s be honest - they’re just way too cute! Quick tip: I placed a mobile-order through Jolly Holiday at 7am when the windows opened. Yes, I ordered it before arriving at Disneyland. It can sold out quickly, especially on a busy day. These can sell out fast, especially on busy days. You might find them at Market House too, but there’s no mobile ordering option there. (From Jolly Holiday)
2. Waffle Cristo - A twist on the classic Monte Cristo. Ham, turkey, & Swiss cheese on crispy waffles. Adding a touch of strawberry jam & maple syrup made for an amazing sweet & savory combo. Definitely getting this again next time. (From Royal Street Veranda)
3. Mickey-Shaped Beignets - 1st time trying these. Light & fresh! (From Mint Julep Bar)
4. Lobster Nachos - The nachos were flavorful as always, though I wouldn’t have minded a bit more sauce this time. Fair warning: the jalapeños brought some serious heat!
5. 2319 - This fruity coconutty drink is non-alcoholic. So refreshing! Loved it! (From Lamplight Lounge in DCA)
6. Churro - Hot & fresh! Always a must! (From churro carts)
7. Cold Brew Black Caf - Tasty! It kind of reminds me of tiramisu. If you’re in Galaxy’s Edge area, definitely check it out. (From Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo)
8. Dole Whip - No Disneyland trip is complete without this! I always go for the classic pineapple flavor. Tangy, refreshing, & never disappoints. (From The Tropical Hideaway)
