Would you Eat Thanksgiving Side Dish: Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Butternut Squash Glazed with Cinnamon & Maple Syrup, Pecans & Cranberries?
Ingredients:
– 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
– 1/2 cup dried cranberries
– 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
– 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400F 200C. Get a large baking sheet ready by lining it with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.
2. Lets get the vegetables ready! In a big bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts and cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure every piece is coated well! Spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring theyre not too crowded.
3. Time to roast! Pop the baking sheet into the oven and let them roast for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, give them a flip. You want those Brussels sprouts to turn golden brown and the squash to be tender and slightly caramelized. Keep an eye on them!
4. While the veggies roast, mix up your glaze! In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the spices are well blended with the syrup. Youll love the aroma!
5. Once roasting is done, take the baking sheet out and drizzle the cinnamon-maple glaze over the veggies to coat them nicely. Sprinkle the pecans and dried cranberries on top for that perfect crunch and tartness.
6. Back to the oven! Toss everything together, then return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes. This step helps the glaze set and lightly toasts the pecans. Just dont let them overcook!
7. Finally, serve it up! Transfer the delicious glazed Brussels sprouts and butternut squash to a serving dish and enjoy warm. The combination of flavors will be festive and healthy!
