Ingredients

Scale

Roasted Vegetables

  • 2 cups sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups butternut squash or pumpkin, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Feta Finish

  • 150 g feta cheese, crumbled

Cranberry Honey Drizzle

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp dried cranberries, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of salt

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley or thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and cubed sweet potato, butternut squash or pumpkin, sliced carrots, and red onion wedges. Toss with extra-virgin olive oil, dried thyme or rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until all vegetables are evenly coated.
  3. Roast Vegetables: Spread the prepared vegetables evenly on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even caramelization, until the vegetables are tender and have deeply caramelized edges.
  4. Make Cranberry Honey Drizzle: While the vegetables are roasting, combine the honey, finely chopped dried cranberries, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Warm gently over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and slightly loosened, being careful not to boil.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the hot vegetables. Drizzle with the warm cranberry honey mixture and garnish with fresh parsley or thyme. Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.

Notes

  • For added texture and flavor, sprinkle toasted walnuts or pecans on top before serving.
  • Adding a pinch of cinnamon or cumin to the vegetable mix before roasting brings a cozy, warming spice note perfect for fall.
  • This medley serves well as a vegetarian main dish, a festive side for holiday tables, or alongside roasted meats such as chicken or lamb.
