  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the butternut squash and Brussels sprouts.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and cinnamon (if using).
  4. Toss to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.
  7. Remove from the oven; sprinkle with pecans and cranberries.
  8. Serve warm as a side dish.

Notes

Use a roomy sheet pan for even roasting and avoid overcrowding. Toast pecans separately for enhanced flavor, and use unsweetened cranberries to reduce sugar content.
