Ingredients

1 sweet potato (about 1 lb), peeled and cut into 1–1½-inch pieces
1 small crown broccoli (about 10 oz), cut into 1½-inch florets
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 bunch asparagus (about 12 spears), woody ends trimmed halfway up, cut into 1–1½-inch pieces
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (mixed colors recommended)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Spread the sweet potato and broccoli on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss with a spatula to coat the vegetables evenly.
Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
While the first batch roasts, place the asparagus and cherry tomatoes in a bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the asparagus and tomatoes. Spread all the vegetables into an even layer.
Return to the oven and roast for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender when pierced with a fork.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes—roast the vegetables and store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.

Can I use frozen vegetables?
You can, but they may release more moisture and won’t crisp as much. Roast at high heat and avoid overcrowding.

How do I keep veggies from getting soggy?
Use enough oil, keep space between the pieces, and roast at 425°F or higher.

Serving

Serve these roasted vegetables as a side dish with chicken, salmon, beef, tofu, or pasta. They also work well in grain bowls, salads, wraps, and meal prep containers.

Suggestions

Drizzle with balsamic glaze or lemon juice after roasting.
