Description
A delicious and healthy roasted vegetable medley featuring butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes, drizzled with a balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups butternut squash (peeled and diced into 3/4-inch cubes)
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
- 1 large sweet potato (cut into 3/4-inch cubes)
- 2 medium carrots (sliced into 1/2-inch coins)
- 1 small red onion (cut into 8 wedges)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (for vegetables)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
- 0 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (for glaze)
- chopped parsley (optional, for serving)
- flaky salt (optional, for serving)
- toasted walnuts or pepitas (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Place a large rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack and preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot pan jump-starts caramelization.
- Cut all vegetables into similar-sized pieces (1/2 to 3/4 inch). Pat vegetables dry with a towel to remove surface moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and garlic until evenly coated.
- Carefully pull the hot sheet pan from the oven. Spread vegetables in a single layer without crowding. Roast 20 minutes undisturbed.
- Toss vegetables once, then roast 10 to 15 minutes more until tender with browned edges.
- While veggies roast, simmer balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon, red pepper flakes, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly syrupy. Remove from heat.
- Drizzle the glaze over the hot vegetables and toss on the pan. Return to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes to set the glaze.
- Sprinkle with flaky salt, parsley, and nuts if using. Taste and adjust salt or acidity. Serve warm.
Notes
- This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.
