Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Brussel Sprouts with Pomegranate

by ninasveganrecipes

This was a dish I made for the family at thanksgiving dinner.  Thankfully it was a hit (even though I ended up putting too much salt on top).  I made something similar to this before, with Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Walnuts and Baked Grapes.  That was a great dish too!  It was a mix of protein, veggies and fruit instead of a mix of starch, veggies and fruit.

Sweet potato actually contains less starch than regular potatoes.  They also hold WAY more Vitamin A than regular potatoes (400% of your daily value in one sweet potato), have less calories, and they have calcium & manganese, but regular potatoes contain more protein and potassium.  Both are excellent choices to eat, so be sure to include all different types of potatoes in to your diet!

 

BTW this recipe is super easy, so if you’re a beginner at cooking (like I was just a couple years back), this one shouldn’t be hard.
