Easy Roasted Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts
Easy and simply roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts make for the best vegan Thanksgiving side for all eaters! Entirely dairy free, gluten free, vegan and easily made Whole30 friendly, this healthy side dish is ready in 30 minutes!
One of my Favorite Easy Thanksgiving Sides
These roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts are so incredibly easy to make. It’s one of my favorite vegan Thanksgiving sides because it’s so low stress and quick to make!
Plus, this Thanksgiving side dish is entirely vegan, gluten free, dairy free, nut free, and can be entirely Whole30 as well if needed, making it a wonderful side dish for all eaters (and free of the Top 8 Allergens!).
For this dish, I like to swap between potatoes and sweet potatoes– whatever I’m feeling in the moment! The sweet potatoes caramelize so wonderfully with a bit of maple syrup, and the roasted Brussels sprouts get nice and crispy (like restaurant-style roasted Brussels sprouts!).
With a pinch of flaked sea salt, the saltiness balances out that subtle sweetness for a cozy and comforting healthy Thanksgiving side that tastes anything but!
Roasted Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts Ingredients
As I mentioned above, this roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts dish is made with the simplest allergen-friendly ingredients that are also packed with nutrients!
For this vegan Thanksgiving side, you’ll need:
- Russet Potatoes or sweet potatoes: I honestly like to use either or! The sweet potatoes add a bit more sweetness to the dish, so if you want a strictly savory dish, go with the russet potatoes (or fingerling if you’d like!). Either way, keep the skin on your potatoes for extra nutrients!
- Brussels sprouts: I absolutely love when Brussels sprouts come back into season because they not only taste amazing but they’re packed with vitamin K and C!
- Maple syrup: maple syrup is one of my favorite sweeteners for when I want a bit of sweetness without any refined sugar! I like to use Crown Maple because it’s my local maple syrup company.
- Fresh thyme: I just used thyme here, but feel free to add in rosemary or sage!
- Olive oil or coconut oil: if you’re concerned about high heat cooking but don’t want a coconut taste, you can roast the Brussels sprouts and potatoes with triple refined coconut oil then drizzle in olive oil for that finished flavor!
- Sea salt and pepper: just enough to taste!

- Dice and cube the potatoes and Brussels sprouts and place them onto a baking sheet.
