This Balsamic Glazed Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprouts Medley is a simple yet bold side dish. Incorporating two types of potatoes, the white yam and Japanese purple sweet potato, adds a new twist to the typical sweet potato dish. Roasted until caramelized and tender, the vegetable medley is tossed in a balsamic glaze that adds depth and a touch of sweetness. The Balsamic Glazed Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprouts Medley works just as well for a festive holiday side (like at Thanksgiving or Christmas) as it does for a cozy weeknight dinner.
