Layered Sweet Potato, Butternut Squash & Carrot Bake with Feta, Walnuts & Cranberry-Honey Glaze

Ingredients:

For the vegetables:

2 large sweet potatoes (thinly sliced)

1 medium butternut squash (peeled and thinly sliced)

4 large carrots (thinly sliced)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

For the cranberry-honey glaze:

1/2 cup dried cranberries

3 tbsp honey

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp cinnamon

For topping:

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/3 cup chopped walnuts (toasted)

Fresh parsley (chopped)

1 tbsp olive oil (for finishing drizzle)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a baking dish lightly with olive oil.

Thinly slice sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and carrots into even rounds for uniform cooking.

In a large bowl, toss vegetables with olive oil, paprika, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Layer the vegetables in a baking dish, alternating between sweet potato, squash, and carrot slices for a colorful stacked effect.

Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 15–20 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.

While baking, prepare the cranberry-honey glaze by simmering cranberries, honey, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a small saucepan for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened. Lightly mash cranberries as they soften.

Remove vegetables from oven and drizzle generously with cranberry-honey glaze.

Top with crumbled feta, toasted walnuts, fresh parsley, and a final drizzle of olive oil.

Serve warm as a main dish or hearty side.
