Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes 🍂
Today, I’m sharing a recipe that brings together two autumn veggie stars: Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes 🍂. With a surprise guest: smoked tofu. I’ll tell you more about my new favorite tofu in a moment.
Roasted vegetables are my obsession when the temperatures drop. Why? Because they’re easy to prepare, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. And of course, let’s not forget my queen: feta, which perfects the dish because you don’t mess with a winning team! That said, apart from the feta, this recipe is vegan, so feel free to skip it if needed.

Why I Love This Recipe
Let’s talk about Brussels sprouts. I know they’re divisive—people either love them or hate them. But roasted in the oven, they completely transform. I promise! You absolutely have to try them before making a final judgment. The bitterness and bad cafeteria memories are gone, replaced by a tender texture and a bold, slightly sweet flavor that’s utterly addictive.
Sweet potatoes, on the other hand, balance it all out with their natural sweetness.
And the tofu! I recommend using a good quality smoked tofu. Personally, I’ve developed an infinite love for the almond sesame tofu from Taifun. I’ve also heard great things about their Black Forest smoked tofu, which I can’t wait to try. The tofu adds a generous dose of protein and a comforting texture that becomes just amazing when roasted.
Finally, the magic happens with the marinade! This sweet and savory mix of miso and maple syrup truly enhances every bite.
A Complete, Healthy, and Flavorful Dish 🌱
What I love about this recipe is how simple it is, while still ticking all the boxes:
Healthy: Seasonal veggies and unprocessed ingredients.
Vegetarian/vegan: Perfect for a meat-free meal, packed with protein thanks to the tofu.
Delicious: Crumbled feta (optional) and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar make it irresistible.
And above all, it’s super easy to make—no need to be a chef to master these Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes 🍂! Another great fall recipe to try is this Crispy butternut Squash no frying required !
