Ingredients
- 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed

- 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Toss the Vegetables
In a large bowl, toss together the butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Roast the Vegetables
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, give them a good toss to ensure even cooking until they are golden and tender.
Step 4: Prepare the Cranberry Glaze
While the vegetables are roasting, combine the cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup in a saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently until the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 5: Combine and Serve
Once the roasted vegetables are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the cranberry glaze. Toss gently to ensure all the veggies are coated in the glaze before serving warm.
