  • Total Time: 70
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

🥄 1 pound medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
🥄 2 cups diced butternut squash
🥄 1 pound medium carrots, thinly sliced
🥄 3 tablespoons olive oil
🥄 Salt and black pepper, to taste
🥄 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
🥄 ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
🥄 ½ cup cranberry juice (100% pure)
🥄 3 tablespoons honey
🥄 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

👨‍🍳 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

👨‍🍳 In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices, butternut squash, and carrots with 3 tablespoons of olive oil.

👨‍🍳 Season with salt and black pepper.

👨‍🍳 Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

👨‍🍳 Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.

👨‍🍳 While the vegetables roast, prepare the cranberry-honey-balsamic sauce by combining ½ cup cranberry juice, 3 tablespoons honey, and 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan.

👨‍🍳 Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

👨‍🍳 Set aside to cool.

👨‍🍳 Once the vegetables are roasted and cooled slightly, layer them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

👨‍🍳 Alternate layers of roasted vegetables, drizzling each layer with the cranberry-honey-balsamic sauce.

👨‍🍳 Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts over the top of the final layer.

👨‍🍳 Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

👨‍🍳 Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

👨‍🍳 Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.

Notes

Roasting vegetables to perfection is crucial for this recipe. Make sure to spread them evenly on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking. If you notice any vegetables starting to burn, reduce the oven temperature slightly or move the dish to a cooler part of the oven. Use a sharp knife when slicing vegetables to ensure even thickness, which promotes even roasting. Toasting walnuts ahead of time gives them a richer flavor and better texture.
