    Yes! These roasted sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts are gluten-free. There are no grains, breadcrumbs, or gluten in this side dish.

    Are sweet potatoes paleo?

    Sweet potatoes are the only potato that is considered paleo.

    What can I use instead of maple syrup?

    You can use honey instead of maple syrup. In this case, the recipe will no longer be vegan.

    What’s the best temperature to roast brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes?

    For best results, oven roast sweet potato and brussels sprouts at 425°F. If the temperature is too low, the brussels won’t get crispy, and the sweet potatoes will be raw in the middle. If the temperature is too high, the brussles and sweet potato cubes will burn.

    Tender and crispy sweet potato brussels sprouts take 30 to 40 minutes to roast at 425°F.

      These were PERFECT for our family dinner last night. They are slightly sweet (not too much) and the brussels sprouts are very crispy just how we like them. And who doesn’t love sweet potatoes?
