Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 cups baby carrots (leave whole or slice for faster cooking)
  • 1 red onion, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 pinch of sea salt
  • Chopped parsley (optional)
  • Crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)
  • Additional drizzle of maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, carrots, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  3. Toss the vegetables until evenly coated, then spread them out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they’re not overcrowded.
  4. Place the vegetables in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Look for caramelized edges and tender centers.
  5. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the maple walnuts. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped walnuts, maple syrup, melted butter, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir frequently for about 3-4 minutes until the walnuts are coated and the syrup is slightly thickened.
  6. Transfer the candied walnuts to a piece of parchment paper to cool. They will harden slightly as they cool.
  7. Once the vegetables are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Arrange them on a serving platter and sprinkle the maple walnuts on top.
  8. If desired, garnish with chopped parsley, crumbled feta or goat cheese, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy the cozy, comforting flavors of fall!
