Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp coarse kosher salt
• 3 tbsps Italian seasoning
• 1 1/2 tbsps amber agave nectar
• 1/4 tsp coarse ground black pepper

• 3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups sweet potato, cubed

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450° F (230° C).
2. Trim woody stem off sprouts and split in half. Scrub sweet potatoes and cut into chunks about the size of your brussels sprouts.
3. Rinse and thoroughly drain vegetables. Add all ingredients to a very large bowl and toss or stir to coat.
4. Pour vegetable mixture onto 15"x20" baking sheet (foil lined or sprayed with nonstick aerosol). Arrange into a single layer.
