Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Toss sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and carrots with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Layer the Vegetables: Arrange a layer of sweet potatoes in the baking dish, followed by a layer of butternut squash, then carrots. Repeat until all vegetables are used, slightly overlapping.
- Bake the Vegetables: Cover with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Prepare the Hot Honey Cranberry Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, honey, hot sauce, water, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until cranberries soften and the glaze thickens slightly.
- Add Toppings: Remove the vegetable bake from the oven. Sprinkle crumbled feta and toasted walnuts on top. Drizzle hot honey cranberry glaze over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve: Serve warm as a festive side dish or a hearty vegetarian main.
