1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
crushed red pepper flakes to taste
pink himalayan salt & pepper to taste
To make:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees & line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss brussel sprouts in 1 tsp balsamic vinegar, sprinkle pink salt & pepper, and add to one side of a baking sheet.
3. On the other side, add chopped sweet potato & spray with olive oil spray lightly.
4. Roast vegetables for 30 minutes.
5. Once vegetables are about done toss salad greens in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, & crushed pepper flakes.
