Step 1

Trim off the ends of the Brussel sprouts and cut in half. Peel sweet potatoes, cut in half, then cut into cubes, about ¾-inch pieces. Transfer to a large bowl.

Step 2

Add salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and cayenne powder to a small bowl and mix well. Drizzle oil and balsamic vinegar over the vegetables and toss well. Then, evenly sprinkle the spice mix over and toss well to coat the veggies.

Step 3

Preheat air fryer to 450°F. Spread seasoned sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Step 4

Air fry until tender and browned, about 17-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Since air fryer models can vary, check at the 17-minute mark to prevent burning.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 450°F. Spread seasoned sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts in a single layer on an aluminum foil or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven. Roast until tender and browned, about 17-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Since oven temperature varies, check at the 17-minute mark to prevent burning.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes to a serving bowl and toss with dried cranberries and toasted pecans. Sprinkle finely chopped parsley just before serving.
