This roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potato salad is the perfect way to enjoy the bounty of the season and make use of your Thanksgiving leftovers.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into cubes
- 1 red onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. On a large baking sheet, toss together the Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, and red onion with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
