Ingredients

For the Roasted Vegetables:

1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried thyme

For the Cranberry Glaze:

1/2 cup cranberry juice

1/4 cup dried cranberries

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

For the Finishing Touch:

4 oz goat cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup dried cranberries (for garnish)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1: Roast the Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until well coated.

Spread the vegetables on a large baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and caramelized.

Step 2: Prepare the Cranberry Glaze

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the cranberry glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberry juice, dried cranberries, honey (or maple syrup), and balsamic vinegar.

Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a glaze.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad

Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a large serving bowl.

Drizzle the cranberry glaze over the roasted vegetables and gently toss to coat.

Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and extra dried cranberries on top.

Step 4: Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
