Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Vegetable Bake:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 large carrots, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Cranberry-Honey Drizzle:

  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp warm water
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots with olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Layer the Bake Arrange vegetables upright in alternating layers (sweet potato, squash, carrot) in the baking dish for a beautiful layered effect. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 20–25 minutes until vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized on top.
  3. Step 3: Make the Cranberry-Honey Drizzle Soak dried cranberries in warm water for 5 minutes to soften. Blend cranberries, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add a splash more water if needed for a drizzle consistency.
  4. Step 4: Finish & Serve Let the bake cool slightly. Drizzle cranberry-honey sauce generously over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, optional cheese, and nuts for extra texture. Serve warm as a holiday side or cozy vegetarian main.
