Ingredients
For the Roasted Vegetables:

2 cups butternut squash, cubed

2 cups sweet potato, cubed

2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved

3–4 large carrots, sliced on a bias

2–3 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt & pepper to taste

For the Cranberry-Honey Glaze:

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp water

Pinch of salt

For Topping:

½ cup crumbled feta

¼ cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped

Fresh thyme (optional)

Directions
Roast the Vegetables:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Add butternut squash, sweet potato, carrots, and Brussels sprouts to a baking sheet.

Drizzle with olive oil, then season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Toss well to coat evenly.

Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until caramelized and tender.

Make the Cranberry-Honey Glaze:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add cranberries, honey, maple syrup, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt.

Cook 5–7 minutes until cranberries soften and burst, forming a glossy glaze.

Mash lightly if you prefer a smoother texture.

Assemble:

Transfer roasted vegetables to a serving dish.

Drizzle generously with the cranberry-honey glaze.

Top with crumbled feta, toasted walnuts, and fresh thyme.
