A festive side dish featuring roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts, complemented by tart cranberries and crunchy pecans.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare butternut squash and Brussels sprouts: chop the squash into chunks and trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, then slice in half.
  3. Place squash and Brussels sprouts on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt, pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne, if using.
  4. Toss the vegetables until well coated, ensuring they are in a single layer.
  5. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  6. In the last few minutes of roasting, add the cranberries and pecans to allow them to toast.
  7. Remove from the oven when squash is fork-tender and golden around the edges.

Notes

For crispier vegetables, avoid overcrowding the pan. You can prepare the veggies a day ahead and store in the fridge.
