Prep Time: 20 minutes
Gathering and preparing your ingredients, including washing, peeling, and chopping the vegetables, and preheating your oven or air-fryer.
Cook Time:
Oven Method: 25-30 minutes
Air-Fryer Method: 20-25 minutes
These times ensure that the vegetables are tender, caramelized, and ready to enjoy. Remember, the actual cook time might vary slightly based on the size of your vegetable cuts and the specific appliance used.
Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 organic carrots, peeled and chopped (you can also get the mini carrots and save yourself time from chopping)
2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
2 cups mushrooms, quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped or you can use spiced rosemary.
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped or you can use spiced thyme.
1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
*OPTIONAL 1 teaspoon spiced garlic powder
Instructions:
Oven Method:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Combine sweet potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms in a large bowl.
Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables. Add rosemary, thyme, Himalayan salt, and black pepper, garlic powder optional. Toss until the vegetables are well-coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Don’t add the mushrooms yet. Leave it for after. Ensure the other vegetables on the sheet are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes and then add the mushrooms and finish cooking for another 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through cooking.
Air-Fryer Method:
Preheat your air-fryer to 380°F (193°C) if your model requires preheating.
Prepare the vegetables as described above in the oven method.
Place the seasoned vegetables in the air-fryer basket just as above as well, leaving the mushrooms out. Avoid overcrowding.
Cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, adding the mushrooms and cooking until vegetables are tender and caramelized. Definitely cook to your liking.
