Roast vegetables are my go-to side dish and this is a nice variation - I like cooking the sweet potatoes and broccoli separately, finally everything is cooked correctly! I usually cube my sweet potatoes but slicing them (not too thin!) makes them more flavorful and slightly crisp on the outside. I was a little concerned about the red pepper on the broccoli but it was perfect, not too hot. I'll make this dish again.
Made this as suggested with the pan-friend steaks with horseradish-chive butter. Delicious, easy meal well under 450 calories (well, except for the wine I opened!). Made it just as written and it turned out perfectly. Definite keeper as a side.
Great side dish recipe! I used a food processor to get even slices of sweet potato in ~2 minutes vs. chopping myself and followed this recipe exactly as written minus the thyme (just forgot to add; wouldn't say it was needed). While it takes ~30-40 minutes for total time on this side dish (including pre-heat of oven & prep along with cook time), I really enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate to make again. The potatoes came out fully cooked and crisp and the broccolini was crisp tender; follow cook times exactly and you shouldn't be disappointed. The crushed red pepper gives it just the right amount of kick to elevate this recipe outside the "boring." Served with C.L.'s Pan Seared Steak with Horseradish-Chive Butter for a great meal. A keeper; enjoy!
We loved the broccolini! We normally eat regular broccoli florets but this was a really good change. I added the crushed red pepper and it was just right amount! This one is a keeper for our veggie options!
This was very good. I used what I had on hand such as potatoes and frozen broccoli. I let the broccoli thaw prior to cooking. Now I am not a fan of broccoli but this was very good! Potatoes were really crispy! Will definatly fix this again!
I followed the recipe exactly. It's not my favorite way to roast sweet potatoes but I did like the broccolini. I will probably stick with my other recipes for roasting sweet potatoes but I will use crushed red pepper for the next time that I prepare broccolini.
