Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Mixing
- Combine the cubed sweet potatoes and trimmed green beans in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Toss everything until the vegetables are evenly coated with oil and seasonings, ensuring each piece is well-covered.
Baking
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary to avoid overcrowding and ensure even roasting.

Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese after roasting. This dish is also great with a dash of balsamic glaze before serving.
