Description

This fall-inspired salad features roasted butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes, topped with a tangy cranberry glaze, creamy goat cheese, and extra cranberries for a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until well coated.
  3. Spread the vegetables on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and caramelized.

Step 2: Prepare the Cranberry Glaze

  1. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the cranberry glaze. In a small saucepan, combine cranberry juice, dried cranberries, honey (or maple syrup), and balsamic vinegar.
  2. 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

  1. Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a large serving bowl.
  2. Drizzle the cranberry glaze over the roasted vegetables and gently toss to coat.
  3. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and extra dried cranberries on top.

Step 4: Serve

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