Cranberry-Glazed Roasted Butternut Squash, Brussels Sprouts, and Sweet Potato Salad

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)


Instructions:


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.
