Sheet Pan Sweet Potato and Broccoli

Need an easy side dish that practically cooks itself? This Sheet Pan Sweet Potato and Broccoli is the answer! It’s wonderfully versatile, healthy, and comes out perfectly roasted every time. Just chop, toss, and bake for a vibrant addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for flavor)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine diced sweet potatoes and broccoli florets. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss again to ensure all vegetables are well seasoned.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded, as this will steam them instead of roasting.

  5. Step 5

    Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized, and broccoli is crisp-tender with slightly browned edges. Toss once halfway through cooking for even roasting.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot as a delicious side dish.

Tips

  • For extra flavor, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the vegetables after roasting.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
