Roasted Brussel Sprouts & Baby Sweet Potatoes

Last night I made dinner for AK and myself; I decided on my baked BBQ tofu and a pot of quinoa, but also wanted something else so I roasted some brussel sprouts and sliced baby sweet potatoes with just a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

P.S. In response to some comments I'm going to start having periodic posts about entire meals, such as the one I made last night. I whipped the whole thing up in about 20 minutes, then just had to wait for everything to cook with very little maintenance.
