Roasted Sweet Potatoes And Carrots With Brown Sugar
Roasted sweet potatoes and carrots are a time honored holiday side dish. I've added an extra layer of sweet brown sugar to give this classic recipe a unique twist.
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 carrots peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potatoes and carrots.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the brown sugar mixture over the sweet potatoes and carrots, tossing to coat them evenly.
- Spread the coated sweet potatoes and carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized, stirring once or twice during cooking.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired
Notes
❄️Storage Instructions
Refrigerator:
If you have leftovers, store the roasted sweet potatoes and carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.Freezer:
While roasted vegetables can be frozen, the texture may change slightly upon thawing. If you choose to freeze them, allow the roasted sweet potatoes and carrots to cool completely before transferring them to a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.Reheating:
To reheat, preheat your oven to revive that crispy texture. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the microwave, but this may result in a softer texture.Nutrition
