With Thanksgiving coming up this week, it can seem like an impossible task to eat healthy. It’s undeniably more difficult, that’s for sure. While it’s certainly ok to treat yourself a bit during the holidays, it’s important to make sure you’re still eating nutrient-dense foods. Whether you’re hosting this year or simply bringing a dish along with you, here are 3ย ridiculously easy possibilities that everyone will enjoy. Plus, they’re extremely nutritious!

Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:

- olive oil as needed
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- rosemary to taste
Directions:

- Drizzle olive oil over potatoes and sprinkle salt, pepper, and rosemary on them. Toss so it’s all coated, and put on a baking sheet.

- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes, or until they’ve reached the desired color. (I like mine to be crispy, so I leave them in for a while.)

Yummy! The Brussels Sprouts sound delish! I’m not too fond of sweet potatoes but have had on occasion sweet potato fries so I would eat the roasted ones. The carrots are a different story. I love carrots as long as they are raw, or stir-fried so they aren’t cooked completely, but once they’re cooked all the way forget about it! I’m craving Brussels Sprouts now! ๐
I was surprised at how much the roasted sweet potatoes tasted like sweet potato fries! Especially if you bake them for a longer amount of time. I usually don’t like brussels sprouts, but I surprisingly really enjoyed these! Thanks for reading!
