Tips for Making Roasted Potatoes and Sprouts

Sizing – Cut each veggies into uniform sizes. This will ensure that there is even cooking and everything is roasted at the same time. Preheat oven – This is a MUST! Make sure your oven is preheated before roasting the potatoes and sprouts. Baking dish – Make sure that your baking sheet or dish can have a single layer. You do not want the potatoes and brussels sprouts to be overlaping. Tossing – When tossing the vegetables, it is good to thoroughly toss with the olive oil and seasonings. Crispy edges – Watch for the edges of the potatoes and brussels sprouts to become golden and crispy on the outside. This adds a delicious crispiness to the dish. Air fryer – When reheating Brussels sprouts, re-heat them in an even layer in an air fryer. Air fry at 375 degrees for 5-6 minutes or until crispy.
