How to Make Cranberry-Glazed Roasted Vegetable Salad

Step 1: Roast the Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash, brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until well coated. Spread the vegetables on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.

Step 2: Prepare the Cranberry Glaze

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the cranberry glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberry juice, dried cranberries, honey (or maple syrup), and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a glaze.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad

Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Drizzle the cranberry glaze over the roasted vegetables and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and remaining dried cranberries on top.

Step 4: Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Add toasted pecans or swap goat cheese for feta for a different twist!
