Ingredients
For the Vegetables:
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups butternut squash, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups parsnips, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
Salt & black pepper to taste
For the Cranberry-Honey Drizzle:
¼ cup dried cranberries
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp water
For Topping:
¼ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans
Fresh thyme for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven: to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil.
Prepare vegetables: Toss sweet potatoes, squash, and parsnips separately with a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Layer: In the baking dish, layer sweet potato slices first, then squash, then parsnips. Repeat until all vegetables are used, slightly overlapping for even cooking. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.
Cover & bake: Cover with foil and bake 35–40 minutes until vegetables are tender. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes to lightly caramelize the top.
Prepare drizzle: In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, and water. Heat over low-medium heat 3–4 minutes until cranberries plump and the sauce thickens slightly.
Assemble: Drizzle cranberry-honey sauce over the baked vegetables. Sprinkle crumbled cheese and chopped nuts on top.
Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme and serve warm.
