A delicious fall-inspired salad featuring roasted butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes glazed with a tangy cranberry sauce, topped with creamy goat or feta cheese, dried cranberries, toasted pecans, and fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small butternut squash – peeled and cubed
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts – trimmed and halved
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes – peeled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper – to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme)
  • ½ cup cranberry juice (100% juice)
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries – finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 4 oz feta or goat cheese – crumbled or diced
  • ½ cup dried cranberries (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley – chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup toasted pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
  5. While vegetables roast, combine cranberry juice, chopped dried cranberries, honey (or maple syrup), and balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan.
  6. Simmer over medium heat until the glaze thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Remove roasted vegetables from oven and transfer to a large serving bowl or platter.
  8. Drizzle the cranberry glaze over the roasted vegetables and toss gently to coat.
  9. Top the salad with crumbled feta or goat cheese, dried cranberries, toasted pecans, and chopped fresh parsley if using.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

This salad balances sweet and savory flavors with a tangy cranberry glaze. For extra fragrance, use fresh thyme instead of dried. Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a satisfying crunch.
