  • 5 tablespoons Olive Oil total (3 for Brussels sprouts)
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt or to taste
For the Sweet Butternut Squash
  • 1½ lbs Butternut Squash peeled, seeded, and cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons Maple Syrup (plus optional 2-4 tablespoons)
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
For the Crunchy Additions
  • 2 cups Pecan Halves toasted
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries substitutes with raisins if desired

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • foil

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Slice the Brussels sprouts in half, place in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with salt to taste. Toss to coat evenly, arrange cut-side down on the baking sheet, and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway.
  3. Peel, seed, and cube the butternut squash into 1-inch pieces. Combine with 1 tablespoon olive oil, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl, toss to coat, and spread on a second lined baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender.
  4. Preheat a second oven to 350°F (175°C) for toasting the pecans. Spread pecans on a baking sheet and toast for about 5 minutes, monitoring closely to prevent burning.
  5. Combine roasted Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired, and toss gently to combine.
