Method
 

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400ºF. Grab your cast-iron skillet or sheet pan.
  2. Peel and cube sweet potatoes to 1/4-1/2 inch cubes(the smaller the cubes, the faster they bake).
  3. Cut bottoms off of the brussel sprouts, and remove any leaves thay may be wilted or blemished.
  4. Peel garlic cloves, and mince garlic.
  5. Add sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, and garlic into your cast-iron skillet or on to your sheet pan.
  6. Next make drizzle. Add all ingredients from the list above to your small bowl and whisk together. **See notes about fresh herbs!**
  7. Pour drizzle over veggies, and toss until all veggies are evenly coated.
  8. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Then remove pan from oven, and sprinkle fresh feta cheese throughout this dish. Place back in the oven and roast for 10-15 more minutes until veggies are tender and cooked through.

Notes

  1. Depending on how you like your fresh herbs you can leave each leaf as large or as small as you like. If you would like to disperse the fresh rosemary and thyme more throughout your dish in smaller pieces, then finely slice/mince each leave after they are removed from the stem, and then add to your drizzle.
