# Components:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
02 - 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes
03 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - ½ teaspoon salt
08 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Dill Pickle Ranch Dressing

09 - ½ cup mayonnaise (vegan mayonnaise recommended for vegan option)
10 - ¼ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
11 - 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
12 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles
13 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
14 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
15 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
16 - ½ teaspoon onion powder
17 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
18 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the prepared Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated with the seasonings.
03 - Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan to promote even roasting and caramelization.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. During the roasting process, stir the vegetables once halfway through to ensure browning on all sides, until they are tender and golden.
05 - While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, dill pickle juice, chopped dill pickles, fresh dill, fresh chives, Dijon mustard, onion powder, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
06 - Once the vegetables are perfectly roasted, transfer them to a serving platter. Generously drizzle the dill pickle ranch dressing over the warm vegetables. Garnish with additional fresh dill or chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
