Brussels Sprout Sweet Potato Hash

Ingredients:
½ lb brussels sprouts (about 2 cups)
1 large sweet potato (about 2 cups)
3 small sweet onions
3 cloves garlic
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ lb fully cooked ham, cut into ½ inch pieces*
Optional garnish- fresh herbs, finely chopped

• Prepare vegetables.
  • Brussels Sprouts- clean and peel outside layers off. For small brussels, leave whole.  For medium ones, cut in half.  For larger ones, cut into fourths.
  • Sweet Potato- peel and cut into ½ inch pieces.
  • Sweet Onions- peel and cut into eighths.
  • Garlic- peel and leave whole.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Combine brussels sprouts, sweet potato, onions, garlic, oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and ham in a large bowl. Toss to combine everything.
• Place mixture on baking sheet in a single layer.

• Roast for 25-30 minutes, mixing once halfway through baking time.
• After the vegetables are done roasting, remove the garlic cloves and chop. Add them back into the roasted vegetables and mix.
• Garnish with freshly chopped herbs of choice (optional) and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

*You can leave the ham out for a meatless dish.  You can also sub the ham for bacon (fully cooked and chopped), but this should be added after cooking the vegetables.
