Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and cut 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Cut 1.5 lbs broccoli crowns into 1-inch florets. Place in a large bowl.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 tbsp avocado oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp chopped rosemary, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss until evenly coated, then spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 20-22 minutes, stirring once halfway, until potatoes are golden at edges and broccoli is tender-crisp with slight browning.
