  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss 2 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes and 2 cups halved Brussels sprouts with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until well coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the vegetables evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and edges caramelize.
