How to Make Root Vegetable And Cranberry Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 11x7 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine: 1 lb butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and cubed), 1 lb sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 lb carrots (peeled and chopped), 1 cup Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved), 1 medium red onion (chopped), 1/2 cup dried cranberries, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine: 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tsp ground sage, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Bring the broth mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Pour the simmered broth mixture over the vegetables in the prepared baking dish. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. (For extra browning, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning).
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
