Roasted Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes & cranberries

November 16, 2015 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

With Thanksgiving holiday approaching for our American friends, I kept seeing on internet delicious recipes ideas for that day which marks a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal and to give thanks for what they have. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables. I’m really sorry we don’t have a holiday like that in Europe!
One of the dishes that is often served as vegetables is roasted Brussels sprouts, squash & cranberries and I wanted to make something similar so I replaced the squash with sweet potatoes and it worked fantastic!

The combination of these ingredients is so amazing and roasting Brussels sprouts really give them the most delicious taste and than there is the sweetness of sweet potatoes and cranberries and finally a nice crunch of pecans nuts. So good! Both me and my husband loved it and will include it for our Christmas lunch as one of the side dishes. But it can be perfect as a side vegetables dish even for a regular Sunday lunch…





On another note, they started decorating the streets and shops here in Switzerland so we are getting slowly into the Christmas mood. But it’s not the same without the snow so we are still waiting for magic to happen! Beside few days of snow in October, we had the most amazing autumn, warm and sunny with nature showing all its beautiful autumn colors. But since this is a ski town high up in the mountains and the town basically lives from the winter tourism, now is really the time for the snow to start and cover everything in a white blanket… Can’t wait! I need to start planning all the delicious things I will post in December and I have a feeling there will be a lot of cookies, hot chocolate and cakes, I hope you don’t mind! 🙂 If you don’t want to miss any of my posts, be sure to subscribe and you’ll be getting all the new posts directly in your inbox.

Look how good these roasted veggies look like! Yum! Make sure to put enough salt and olive oil before you roast them as that makes all the difference.
