How to cook Brussells Sprouts and sweet potates in one oven?
I need to roast the Brussels sprouts at 350 for 40" and bake the sweet potatoes at 425 for 60" in one oven. How should I do it?
Best Answer
I have this problem frequently of needing to cook different things at the different temperatures in the oven at the same time. I tend to get around it by choosing the average temperature of the two (in your case ~390F) and adjust my cooking times appropriately. At 390F, I would cook for roughly the following times for your foods:
Brussels Sprouts 35" Sweet Potatoes 70"
They should could in a pretty similar manner to your recipe, but I'd keep an eye on them to ensure they come out perfect.
Hope that helps!

How do you bake sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts?
Preheat oven to 450\xb0F. Toss Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, oil, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne on a large rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer. Roast until tender and browned, about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.Should you cut brussel sprouts in half before roasting?
Just be sure there is some space between your sprouts on the roasting pan so they roast and don't steam. Place the sprouts cut-side down: Trim and halve the sprouts and roast them with their cut side against the baking sheet. The cut side will caramelize beautifully while the outer leaves crisp.How long do I cook a sweet potato in oven?

A sweet potato with a small bunch of sprouts is still safe and edible to eat and will taste fine. Even the sprouts themselves are edible (unlike regular potato sprouts).Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes \u0026 Brussels Sprouts | Healthy Side Dish | Episode 115

Answer 2
I've done almost exactly this many times. Your oven may differ from mine (hot spots, small, large, etc.)
I cut sprouts in half north to south, trim the tough part of stems, toss the sprouts lightly in some oil, spread them on a baking sheet of some kind, sometimes toss the sliced bacon pieces on top. Oven at 400. Some will brown a bit, which is my goal. Test them around 30 minutes. After they're done, I finish with kosher salt, pepper and sometimes lemon juice.
Baking sweet potatoes bare; not foil wrapped? Medium sized unwrapped potatoes may be done around 45 minutes (test with toothpick).
If you're committed to the 425 degree temp, delay putting the sprouts in (let the potatoes get a head start), then test the sprouts every 15 minutes, and toss them on the sheet, then another 15,etc. After they start to brown, you could lay some foil on top of them to allow time to cook the interior more.
If you're looking for a non-roasted sprout type of result, cover them with foil the entire cooking time and still check them every 15 minutes, otherwise, use steam.
I also vote for trading the foods between the racks and rotating the two sheets, but that's because my oven is small enough that this matters.
Good eating!
