Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Salmon and Sweet Potatoes
This is the perfect dinner. I like the fact that it can be prepared in just 40 minutes. Everything gets tossed on a single sheet pan and roasted in the oven. This is one of my go-to dinners. I make it when I have little time but want a delicious meal.
Sweet potato is one of my favorite vegetables. I can eat it every day without getting tired of it. I love adding it to sheet-pan meals like this because it contains vitamins A and C and fiber.
I was never a fan of Brussels sprouts, but adding them to sheet pan meals has made me love them. If you do not like Brussels sprouts, try roasting them with different vegetables. They taste delicious when roasted and mixed with other vegetables.
