Here is the recipe that I was talking about. It is a combination of brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes. It is so good. I am following Nancy's suggestion to make a new thread for each recipe.

ROASTED VEGETABLES

Serves 6-8
Oven temp at 425 degrees F

2 pounds sweet potatoes/yams, peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes, place in cool water
1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, cleaned, trimmed and cut in ½
¼ cup olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
3 tablespoons garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon orange zest

In one pot, bring sweet potatoes and water up to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender. Strain and lay out to cool.

In another pot bring ½ gallon water to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt, add sprouts and cook for 3 minutes. Strain and lay out to cool.

Heat a large sauté pan on high heat. Add ¼ cup olive oil and reserved sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts; toss lightly to coat with oil and do not touch for 2 minutes or until the bottoms begin to brown. Turn and cook for 3 more minutes until brown on that side. Season potatoes and sprouts with salt and pepper and place in oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes open oven and add sage and garlic. Stir well and continue to roast for 5 minutes more or until the garlic is light brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the orange zest.

Note: be careful with the garlic if you will have leftovers as the taste gets stronger overnight.
